This removes the knowledge of clockid_t from anywhere but clock.c, thus
eliminating a source of includes burden. The unused clock_id field was
removed from thread_info, and the definition setting of clockid_t was
removed from compat.h. The most visible change is that the function
now_cpu_time_thread() now takes the thread number instead of a tinfo
pointer.
The code that deals with timer creation for the WDT was moved to clock.c
and is called with the few relevant arguments. This removes the need for
awareness of clock_id from wdt.c and as such saves us from having to
share it outside. The timer_t is also known only from both ends but not
from the public API so that we don't have to create a fake timer_t
anymore on systems which do not support it (e.g. macos).
This was previously open-coded in run_thread_poll_loop(). Now that
we have clock.c dedicated to such stuff, let's move the code there
so that we don't need to keep such ifdefs nor to depend on the
clock_id.
The entering_poll/leaving_poll/measure_idle functions that were hard
to classify and used to move to various locations have now been placed
into clock.c since it's precisely about time-keeping. The functions
were renamed to clock_*. The samp_time and idle_time values are now
static since there is no reason for them to be read from outside.
There is currently a problem related to time keeping. We're mixing
the functions to perform calculations with the os-dependent code
needed to retrieve and adjust the local time.
This patch extracts from time.{c,h} the parts that are solely dedicated
to time keeping. These are the "now" or "before_poll" variables for
example, as well as the various now_*() functions that make use of
gettimeofday() and clock_gettime() to retrieve the current time.
The "tv_*" functions moved there were also more appropriately renamed
to "clock_*".
Other parts used to compute stolen time are in other files, they will
have to be picked next.
