POSIX timers misbehaviour

[Daniel Krüger]

Hello,

I am porting the openPOWERLINK stack (Industrial Ethernet protocol 
implementation) to RTEMS. Because RTEMS includes the POSIX layer, I 
tried to reuse most of the Linux implementation of openPOWERLINK.
When it came to the timers, I discovered some differences of the POSIX 
timer behaviour in RTEMS in respect to Linux. I don't know what the 
POSIX standard says in that regard.

I adapted the RTEMS POSIX timers implementation to match Linux a little 
bit more. The patches for RTEMS are provided as attachment.

If you need more information, or if you have any particular question, 
feel free to contact me any time!

Best regards,
   Daniel Krüger
