+Subject: [PATCH] clock_gettime04: set threshold based on the clock resolution
+
+This is to get rid of the intermittent failures in clock_gettime04,
+which are likely caused by different clock tick rates on platforms.
+Here give two thresholds (in milliseconds) for comparison, one for
+COARSE clock and one for the rest.
+
+Error log:
+ clock_gettime04.c:163: TFAIL: CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE(syscall with old kernel spec):
+ Difference between successive readings greater than 5 ms (1): 10
+ clock_gettime04.c:163: TFAIL: CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE(vDSO with old kernel spec):
+ Difference between successive readings greater than 5 ms (2): 10
+
+From Waiman Long:
+ That failure happens for CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE which is a faster but less
+ precise version of CLOCK_REALTIME. The time resolution is actually a clock
+ tick. Since arm64 has a HZ rate of 100. That means each tick is 10ms. So a
+ CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE threshold of 5ms is probably not enough. I would say
+ in the case of CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE, we have to increase the threshold based
+ on the clock tick rate of the system. This is more a test failure than is
+ an inherent problem in the kernel.
+
+Fixes #898
+
+Upstream-Status: Backport
