Ugh, you are right of course. I am mainly interested in GC so that is
the only list I am subscribed to and I mindlessly sent the patch here.

Not on normal Linux AFAIK, but I encountered in on OSv
(http://www.osv.io/) which has its own posix emulation layer that
emulates monotonic clock but not yet condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC).
The later will be emulated too eventually, but there is no harm in
fixing JVM.
