Zack Weinberg 4a39c34c4f Change most internal uses of __gettimeofday to __clock_gettime.
Since gettimeofday will shortly be implemented in terms of
clock_gettime on all platforms, internal code should use clock_gettime
directly; in addition to removing a layer of indirection, this will
allow us to remove the PLT-bypass gunk for gettimeofday.  (We can't
quite do that yet, but it'll be coming later in this patch series.)
In many cases, the changed code does fewer conversions.

The changed code always assumes __clock_gettime (CLOCK_REALTIME)
cannot fail.  Most of the call sites were assuming gettimeofday could
not fail, but a few places were checking for errors.  POSIX says
clock_gettime can only fail if the clock constant is invalid or
unsupported, and CLOCK_REALTIME is the one and only clock constant
that's required to be supported.  For consistency I grepped the entire
source tree for any other places that checked for errors from
__clock_gettime (CLOCK_REALTIME), found one, and changed it too.

(For the record, POSIX also says gettimeofday can never fail.)

(It would be nice if we could declare that GNU systems will always
support CLOCK_MONOTONIC as well as CLOCK_REALTIME; there are several
places where we are using CLOCK_REALTIME where _MONOTONIC would be
more appropriate, and/or trying to use _MONOTONIC and then falling
back to _REALTIME.  But the Hurd doesn't support CLOCK_MONOTONIC yet,
and it looks like adding it would involve substantial changes to
gnumach's internals and API.  Oh well.)

A few Hurd-specific files were changed to use __host_get_time instead
of __clock_gettime, as this seemed tidier.  We also assume this cannot
fail.  Skimming the code in gnumach leads me to believe the only way
it could fail is if __mach_host_self also failed, and our
Hurd-specific code consistently assumes that can't happen, so I'm
going with that.

With the exception of support/support_test_main.c, test cases are not
modified, mainly because I didn't want to have to figure out which
test cases were testing gettimeofday specifically.

The definition of GETTIME in sysdeps/generic/memusage.h had a typo and
was not reading tv_sec at all.  I fixed this.  It appears nobody has been
generating malloc traces on a machine that doesn't have a superseding
definition.

There are a whole bunch of places where the code could be simplified
by factoring out timespec subtraction and/or comparison logic, but I
want to keep this patch as mechanical as possible.

Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu, i686-linux-gnu, powerpc64le-linux-gnu,
powerpc64-linux-gnu, powerpc-linux-gnu, and aarch64-linux-gnu.

This directory contains the sources of the GNU C Library.
See the file "version.h" for what release version you have.

The GNU C Library is the standard system C library for all GNU systems,
and is an important part of what makes up a GNU system.  It provides the
system API for all programs written in C and C-compatible languages such
as C++ and Objective C; the runtime facilities of other programming
languages use the C library to access the underlying operating system.

In GNU/Linux systems, the C library works with the Linux kernel to
implement the operating system behavior seen by user applications.
In GNU/Hurd systems, it works with a microkernel and Hurd servers.

The GNU C Library implements much of the POSIX.1 functionality in the
GNU/Hurd system, using configurations i[4567]86-*-gnu.

When working with Linux kernels, this version of the GNU C Library
requires Linux kernel version 3.2 or later.

Also note that the shared version of the libgcc_s library must be
installed for the pthread library to work correctly.

The GNU C Library supports these configurations for using Linux kernels:

	alpha*-*-linux-gnu
	arm-*-linux-gnueabi
	csky-*-linux-gnuabiv2
	hppa-*-linux-gnu

If you are interested in doing a port, please contact the glibc
maintainers; see https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/ for more
information.

See the file INSTALL to find out how to configure, build, and install
the GNU C Library.  You might also consider reading the WWW pages for
the C library at https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/.

The GNU C Library is (almost) completely documented by the Texinfo manual
found in the `manual/' subdirectory.  The manual is still being updated
and contains some known errors and omissions; we regret that we do not
have the resources to work on the manual as much as we would like.  For
corrections to the manual, please file a bug in the `manual' component,
following the bug-reporting instructions below.  Please be sure to check
the manual in the current development sources to see if your problem has
already been corrected.

Please see https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/bugs.html for bug reporting
information.  We are now using the Bugzilla system to track all bug reports.
This web page gives detailed information on how to report bugs properly.

The GNU C Library is free software.  See the file COPYING.LIB for copying
conditions, and LICENSES for notices about a few contributions that require
these additional notices to be distributed.  License copyright years may be
listed using range notation, e.g., 1996-2015, indicating that every year in
