libglusterfs: Add monotonic clocking counter for timer thread

2013-10-15T07:14:57+00:00

gettimeofday() returns the current wall clock time and timezone.
Using these functions in order to measure the passage of time
(how long an operation took) therefore seems like a no-brainer.

This time suffer's from some limitations:

a. They have a low resolution: “High-performance” timing by
definition, requires clock resolutions into the microseconds
or better.

b. They can jump forwards and backwards in time: Computer
clocks all tick at slightly different rates, which causes
the time to drift. Most systems have NTP enabled which
periodically adjusts the system clock to keep them in sync
with “actual” time. The adjustment can cause the clock to
suddenly jump forward (artificially inflating your timing
numbers) or jump backwards (causing your timing calculations
to go negative or hugely positive). In such cases timer
thread could go into an infinite loop.

From 'man gettimeofday':
----------
..
..
The time returned by gettimeofday() is affected by discontinuous
jumps in the system time (e.g., if the system administrator manually
changes the system time).  If you need a monotonically increasing
clock, see clock_gettime(2).
..
..
----------

Rationale:

For calculating interval timing for Timer thread, all that’s
needed should be clock as a simple counter that increments
at a stable rate.

This is necessary to avoid the jumps which are caused by using
"wall time", this counter must be monotonic that can never
“tick” backwards, ever.

build: split CPPFLAGS from CFLAGS

2012-10-03T19:26:45+00:00

Automake provides a separate variable for preprocessor flags
(*_CPPFLAGS). They are already uses in a few places, so make it
consistent and use it everywhere. Note that cflags obtained from
pkg-config often are cppflags, which is why LIBXML2_CFLAGS moves with
into AM_CPPFLAGS, for example.

build: remove useless explicit -fPIC -shared from

2012-10-03T19:24:59+00:00

 CFLAGS

libtool will automatically add "-fPIC" to the compiler command line as
needed, so there is no need to specify it separately.

"-shared" is normally a linker flag and has an odd effect when used with
libtool --mode=compile, namely that it inhibits production of static
objects. For that however, using AC_DISABLE_STATIC is a lot simpler.

build: remove -nostartfiles flag

2012-10-02T20:11:43+00:00

The "-nostartfiles" is a discouraged option and is documented to
potentially result in undesired behavior. Since I see no reason why it
should be in glusterfs, remove it.

This adds -D${GF_HOST_OS} to some compiler command lines,
