clock_getres

Implemented in Antinomie 0.7.0 · Syscall list

Synopsis

long clock_getres(clockid_t which_clock, struct __kernel_timespec *tp);

Number (x86-64)	229
ABI	common
Kernel entry point	sys_clock_getres

This is the raw kernel prototype from the pinned Linux 6.12.94 schema, not the libc wrapper.

Description

Reads the resolution of a clock.

Arguments

Name	Type	Meaning
which_clock (arg0)	clockid_t	Clock id, such as CLOCK_REALTIME or CLOCK_MONOTONIC.
tp (arg1)	struct __kernel_timespec *	Pointer to a time structure.

Return value

On success: 0.

In an Antinomie trace the Return column and the ret filter field show the raw kernel return value. On failure that is the negative errno, for example -2 for ENOENT, not the -1 plus errno that the libc wrapper gives. syscall.errno holds the positive errno and syscall.success is false.

Common errors

Raw return	Name	Meaning
-14	EFAULT	A pointer argument points outside the accessible address space.
-22	EINVAL	An argument is invalid.

Captured by Antinomie

Coverage mark: Implemented. Every pointer argument has a capture rule in the pinned kernel patch and none of them records a “no decoder”, “address only” or “not observed” gap on any code path. Individual values can still be incomplete on a particular call; see the capture statuses.

Every call is recorded as an Entry record (the six argument words and the pointees copied at entry) and an Exit record (the return value and the pointees copied at exit).

Arguments

Argument	When	How	Recorded field key	Condition
which_clock (arg0)	Entry	raw scalar word	args.0, args.which_clock
tp (arg1)	Entry	the pointer itself, as a raw word	args.1, args.raw[1]
↳ pointee	Exit	structure timespec (fixed size)	arg1.data	result is 0

Filter fields

• Result: ret, syscall.errno, syscall.success, syscall.duration_ns.
• Argument words: args.which_clock (arg0), args.tp (arg1); args.0 to args.5 by position.
• Structure timespec[2] behind tp (arg1): args.tp.<member> for tv_nsec, tv_sec.

See Syscall Trace filter for the full syntax.
