I am looking at glibc-2.2.5 sources and trying to understand what POSIX
timers do for the thread and process timers. I get lost when I try to
find the thread that is used to actually set up the timer.
General pointers to what is going on here would be of great help.
I am trying to figure out how to integrate the high-res-timers (see
signature) stuff into glibc without loosing functionality. The standard
says that these timers should time execution time, and I need to
understand how they do that.
