nptl: Add POSIX-proposed pthread_cond_clockwait
Add: int pthread_cond_clockwait (pthread_cond_t *cond, pthread_mutex_t *mutex, clockid_t clockid, const struct timespec *abstime) which behaves just like pthread_cond_timedwait except it always measures abstime against the supplied clockid. Currently supports CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_MONOTONIC and returns EINVAL if any other clock is specified. Includes feedback from many others. This function was originally proposed[1] as pthread_cond_timedwaitonclock_np, but The Austin Group preferred the new name. * nptl/Makefile: Add tst-cond26 and tst-cond27 * nptl/Versions (GLIBC_2.30): Add pthread_cond_clockwait * sysdeps/nptl/pthread.h: Likewise * nptl/forward.c: Add __pthread_cond_clockwait * nptl/forward.c: Likewise * nptl/pthreadP.h: Likewise * sysdeps/nptl/pthread-functions.h: Likewise * nptl/pthread_cond_wait.c (__pthread_cond_wait_common): Add clockid parameter and comment describing why we don't need to check its value. Use that value when calling futex_abstimed_wait_cancelable rather than reading the clock from the flags. (__pthread_cond_wait): Pass unused clockid parameter. (__pthread_cond_timedwait): Read clock from flags and pass it to __pthread_cond_wait_common. (__pthread_cond_clockwait): Add new function with weak alias from pthread_cond_clockwait. * sysdeps/mach/hurd/i386/libpthread.abilist (GLIBC_2.30): * Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/aarch64/libpthread.abilist * (GLIBC_2.30): Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/alpha/libpthread.abilist (GLIBC_2.30): * Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/arm/libpthread.abilist (GLIBC_2.30): * Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/csky/libpthread.abilist (GLIBC_2.30): * Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/hppa/libpthread.abilist (GLIBC_2.30): * Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/libpthread.abilist (GLIBC_2.30): * Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/ia64/libpthread.abilist (GLIBC_2.30): * Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/m68k/coldfire/libpthread.abilist (GLIBC_2.30): Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/m68k/m680x0/libpthread.abilist (GLIBC_2.30): Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/microblaze/libpthread.abilist (GLIBC_2.30): Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/mips32/libpthread.abilist (GLIBC_2.30): Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/mips64/libpthread.abilist (GLIBC_2.30): Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/nios2/libpthread.abilist (GLIBC_2.30): * Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/powerpc32/libpthread.abilist (GLIBC_2.30): Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/powerpc64/be/libpthread.abilist (GLIBC_2.30): Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/powerpc64/le/libpthread.abilist (GLIBC_2.30): Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/riscv/rv64/libpthread.abilist (GLIBC_2.30): Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/s390/s390-32/libpthread.abilist (GLIBC_2.30): Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/s390/s390-64/libpthread.abilist (GLIBC_2.30): Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sh/libpthread.abilist (GLIBC_2.30): * Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sparc/sparc32/libpthread.abilist (GLIBC_2.30): Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sparc/sparc64/libpthread.abilist (GLIBC_2.30): Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/64/libpthread.abilist (GLIBC_2.30): Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/x32/libpthread.abilist (GLIBC_2.30): Likewise. * nptl/tst-cond11.c (run_test): Support testing pthread_cond_clockwait too by using a special magic CLOCK_USE_ATTR_CLOCK value to determine whether to call pthread_cond_timedwait or pthread_cond_clockwait. (do_test): Pass CLOCK_USE_ATTR_CLOCK for existing tests, and add new tests using all combinations of CLOCK_MONOTONIC and CLOCK_REALTIME. * ntpl/tst-cond26.c: New test for passing unsupported and * invalid clocks to pthread_cond_clockwait. * nptl/tst-cond27.c: Add test similar to tst-cond5.c, but using struct timespec and pthread_cond_clockwait. * manual/threads.texi: Document pthread_cond_clockwait.
