The POSIX specification defines that relative CLOCK_REALTIME timers are not affected by clock modifications. Those timers have to use CLOCK_MONOTONIC to ensure POSIX compliance. The introduction of the additional HRTIMER_MODE_PINNED mode broke this requirement for pinned timers. There is no user space visible impact because user space timers are not using pinned mode, but for consistency reasons this needs to be fixed. Check whether the mode has the HRTIMER_MODE_REL bit set instead of comparing with HRTIMER_MODE_ABS.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
