Subject: [PATCH] Prefer clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

gettimeofday() reports wrong elapsed real time if a time step was
inserted while running a program. This can happen on initial time
adjustment from NTP server or by manual adjustement by date command.

This patch uses clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) instead (if available)
that does not suffer from the issue.
