RE: [PATCH v4] Support for setitimer() on platforms lacking it

From: Joachim Schmitz <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:54:42
Subsystem: kernel build + files below scripts/ (unless maintained elsewhere), the rest · Maintainers: Nathan Chancellor, Nicolas Schier, Linus Torvalds

HP NonStop (currently) doesn't have setitimer().
As setitimer() is only used in cases of perceived latency and it doesn't affect
correctness, it gets disabled entirely if NO_SETITIMER is set.
HP NonStop does provide struct itimerval, but other platforms may not, so this
is taken care of in this commit too, by setting NO_STRUCT_ITIMERVAL.
