When the return value is (clock_t) -1, all the force_successful_syscall_return() calls and glibc condition codes checks in the world are not going to fix the application code which checks for error using -1. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
