Commit Message

Recently we were in the need of easy way to run a testcase for a given
time interval. We nearly had everything in the timer library already but
the problem was that the sampling function i.e. tst_timer_stop() and
conversion functions e.g. tst_timer_elapsed_ms() were separated.

This commit adds a tst_timer_expired_ms() function that combines the
sampling and comparsion, the intended usage is:

static void setup(void)
{
	...
	tst_timer_check(CLOCK_MONOTONIC);
	...
}

static void run(void)
{
	...

	tst_timer_start(CLOCK_MONOTONIC);

	...

	while (!tst_timer_expired_ms(5000)) {
		...
	}

	...
}

ACK

I'm thinking if it's worth skipping also tst_timer_check(),
and adding some like "LTP_TIMER_ANY" that would pick first
available clockid for you.

Pushed, thanks.

For the expiration timer we probably want to try the monotonic timer and
if that fail fall back to the realtime. But I wonder if it's a good idea
to invent our specific timer ids. Maybe it would be better to indroduce
tst_timer_start_any() function instead so that we can do:


static void run(void)
{
	tst_timer_start_any();

	while (!tst_timer_expired_ms(5000)) {
		...
	}
}
