[PATCH v4] kselftest: timers: Add adjtick test to validate adjtimex() tick adjustments

From: John Stultz
Date: Mon Oct 05 2015 - 21:17:10 EST


Recently an issue was reported that was difficult to detect except
by tweaking the adjtimex tick value, and noticing how quickly the
adjustment took to be made:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/9/1/488

Thus this patch introduces a new test which manipulates the adjtimex
tick value and validates the results are what we expect.

v2: - Use sysconf(_SC_CLK_TCK) to properly get USER_HZ value.
v3: - Set STA_PLL to ensure offset is cleared
- Add rational for 100ppm error bound
v4: - Add message informing each iteration takes ~15 secs
- Cleanup error message when ntpd is suspected of running
