webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~dholmes/8242504/webrev/
This work was contributed by Mark Kralj-Taylor:

On the hotspot side we change the Linux implementations of
javaTimeMillis() and javaTimeSystemUTC() so that they use
clock_gettime(CLOCK_REALTIME) instead of gettimeofday(). In keeping with
our conditional use of this API I added a new guard
os::Posix::supports_clock_gettime()
and refined the existing supports_monotonic_clock() so that we can still
use CLOCK_REALTIME if CLOCK_MONOTONIC does not exist. In the future
(hopefully very near future) we will simply assume these APIs always exist.
On the core-libs side the existing test:
test/jdk/java/time/test/java/time/TestClock_System.java
is adjusted to track the precision in more detail.
Finally Mark has added instantNowAsEpochNanos() to the benchmark
previously known as
test/micro/org/openjdk/bench/java/lang/Systems.java
which I've renamed to SystemTime.java as Mark suggested. I agree having
these three functions measured together makes sense.
Testing:
- test/jdk/java/time/test/java/time/TestClock_System.java
- test/micro/org/openjdk/bench/java/lang/SystemTime.java
- Tiers 1-3
Thanks,
David
