[PATCH v2 15/17] selftests: timers: nsleep-lat: Explicitly list the tested clocks

From: Thomas Weißschuh (Schneider Electric)

Date: Mon Aug 03 2026 - 06:25:05 EST


The test relies on the numeric values of the clockids.
As not all clocks are meant to be tested, this requires skipping some
clocks unconditionally, cluttering the result.

Use an equivalent, explicit list instead.

In addition to CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID, CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID and
CLOCK_HWSPECIFIC which were unconditionally skipped before, this also
unconditionally skips CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW, CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE and
CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE. clock_nanosleep() is not supported for those.
