clock_getres.2: Consecutive calls for CLOCK_MONOTONIC may return same value
...
Consecutive calls to clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) are guaranteed
to return MONOTONIC values, which means that they either return
the *SAME* time value like the last call, or a later (higher) time
value.
Due to high resolution counters, like TSC on x86, most people see
that the values returned increase, but on other less common
platforms it's less likely that consecutive calls return newer
values, and instead users may unexpectedly get back the SAME time
value.
I think it makes sense to document that people should not expect
to see "always-growing" time values. For example in Debian I've
seen in quite some source packages where return values of
consecutive calls are compared against each other and then the
package build fails if they are equal (e.g. ruby-hitimes, ...).
