+
+ A few optimizations. Got rid of unnecessary wakeups of timer threads,
+ tightened up some critical regions and micro-optimized some list
+ manipulation code.
+
+ * sysdeps/pthread/timer_routines.c (__timer_thread_queue_timer):
+ Returns int value now to indicate whether timer was queued at head.
+ * sysdeps/pthread/posix-timer.h: Likewise.
+ * sysdeps/pthread/timer_settime.c (timer_settime): Takes advantage of
+ new return value from __timer_thread_queue_timer to avoid waking
+ up timer thread unnecessarily.
+
+ * sysdeps/pthread/posix-timer.h (timer_id2ptr): No longer checks
+ inuse flag, because this requires mutex to be held. Callers updated
+ to do the check when they have the mutex.
+ * sysdeps/pthread/timer_getoverr.c: Add check for inuse here.
+
+ * sysdeps/pthread/timer_settime.c (timer_settime): Tighter critical
+ regions: avoids making system calls while holding timer mutex, and
+ a few computations were moved outside of the mutex as well.
+ * sysdeps/pthread/timer_gettime.c (timer_gettime): Likewise.
+
+ * sysdeps/pthread/posix-timer.h (list_unlink_ip): Function name changed
+ to list_unlink_ip, meaning idempotent. Pointer manipulation
+ changed to get better better code out of gcc.
+ * sysdeps/pthread/timer_routines.c (list_unlink): Non-idempotent
+ version of list_unlink added here.
+ * sysdeps/pthread/timer_delete.c: Use appropriate list unlink
+ function in all places: idempotent one for timers, non-idempotent
+ one for thread nodes.
+ * sysdeps/pthread/timer_settime: Likewise.
+ * sysdeps/pthread/timer_routines.c: Likewise.

* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/bits/posix_opt.h (_POSIX_TIMERS): Define.
