RFR(S): 8037340: Linux semaphores are associated with CLOCK_REALTIME and need relative to absolute time conversion utility

[Markus Gr?nlund]

Greetings,

 

Kindly asking for reviews for the following changeset:

 

8037340: Linux semaphores are associated with CLOCK_REALTIME and need relative to absolute time conversion utility

 

Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~mgronlun/8037340/webrev01/ 

Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8037340 

 

Previously, unpackTime() was used to calculate the absolute time value for passing to sem_timedwait() for waiting on a Semaphore.

UnpackTime() has been updated to be based on CLOCK_MONOTONIC which does not work for Semaphores, which are always associated with CLOCK_REALTIME.

Thanks

Markus
