From bf22a6976897977b0a3f1aeba6823c959fc4fdae Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Thu, 22 Apr 2021 21:44:23 +0200 Subject: futex: Provide FUTEX_LOCK_PI2 to support clock selection The FUTEX_LOCK_PI futex operand uses a CLOCK_REALTIME based absolute timeout since it was implemented, but it does not require that the FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME flag is set, because that was introduced later. In theory as none of the user space implementations can set the FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME flag on this operand, it would be possible to creatively abuse it and make the meaning invers, i.e. select CLOCK_REALTIME when not set and CLOCK_MONOTONIC when set. But that's a nasty hackery. Another option would be to have a new FUTEX_CLOCK_MONOTONIC flag only for FUTEX_LOCK_PI, but that's also awkward because it does not allow libraries to handle the timeout clock selection consistently. So provide a new FUTEX_LOCK_PI2 operand which implements the timeout semantics which the other operands use and leave FUTEX_LOCK_PI alone.
