Since the timeval module now initializes itself on-demand, there is no
longer any need to initialize it explicitly, or to provide an interface to
do so.
We now use a time source that provides nanosecond granularity.
However, our test uses gettimeofday() for comparision, which has
microsecond granularity. In some cases this can lead to different
values depending on the rounding. This allows us to be off by one
to prevent intermittent test failures.
Most of the timekeeping needs of OVS are simply to measure intervals,
which means that it is sensitive to changes in the clock. This commit
replaces the existing clocks with monotonic timers. An additional set
of wall clock timers are added and used in locations that need absolute
time.
Bug #1858
When --monitor is used, administrators sometimes become confused about the
presence of two copies of each process. This commit attempts to clarify
the situation by making the monitoring process change its process name, as
seen in /proc/$pid/cmdline and in "ps", to clearly indicate what is going
on.
