commit4fbf5d6837upstream. The FUTEX_WAIT operand has historically a relative timeout which means that the clock id is irrelevant as relative timeouts on CLOCK_REALTIME are not subject to wall clock changes and therefore are mapped by the kernel to CLOCK_MONOTONIC for simplicity. If a caller would set FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME for FUTEX_WAIT the timeout is still treated relative vs. CLOCK_MONOTONIC and then the wait arms that timeout based on CLOCK_REALTIME which is broken and obviously has never been used or even tested. Reject any attempt to use FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME with FUTEX_WAIT again. The desired functionality can be achieved with FUTEX_WAIT_BITSET and a FUTEX_BITSET_MATCH_ANY argument.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
