sceKernelGetProcessTimeCounter counted nanoseconds and
sceKernelGetProcessTimeCounterFrequency returned 1 GHz, while
sceKernelGetTscFrequency reports the host TSC rate. On the console the
process time counter runs at the TSC frequency, so a title may scale
the counter by sceKernelGetTscFrequency. PPSA34501 does, and its clock
ran 3.4 times slow on a 3.4 GHz host: it paced its 60 Hz frames to
17.6 fps and its game time and audio drifted apart.
The counter now ticks at sceKernelGetTscFrequency, over the same
monotonic clock and APS5_TIME_SCALE, and its frequency is that rate.
On Linux, APS5_TRACE_WAITS and APS5_TRACE_USLEEP used an image base and a thread
id of 0, so "exe+0x..." printed absolute addresses and every site reported
"tid 0". The call site is now resolved with dladdr1(RTLD_DL_LINKMAP) and printed
relative to its module's load address ("exe+..." for the executable, the module
file name otherwise), matching guest offsets in a disassembly; the thread id is
gettid(). Descriptions are cached per call site, so polling titles do not pay a
dladdr1 per wait. Windows output is unchanged.
clock_gettime threw invalid_argument when the result pointer was null,
before looking at the clock id. FreeBSD 11.4's sys_clock_gettime reads the
clock through kern_clock_gettime, which fails with EINVAL for an unknown
clock, and only then copies the result out, so a null pointer fails with
EFAULT.
Read the clock into a local value first, then fail with -1 and EFAULT when
the pointer is null. A clock that is not supported still throws before the
pointer is looked at. Test the null pointer for the supported clocks.

A sleep of 1 ms or less returns once the AGC driver sees a GPU batch
complete (a thread waits on the recorder's timeline semaphore), runs a
batch's completion actions, or VideoOut completes a flip. A thread
returns early at most 8 times in a run of back-to-back sleeps; the run
restarts when the thread submits AGC work or did not sleep for the
requested time. APS5_NO_SLEEP_WAKE=1 keeps every sleep in full.

PS5MC (PPSA99420, Kodi 22) imports clock_settime (d7nUj1LOdDU) from
libkernel.prx, one reference, after sigwaitinfo in its import order.
Predicted stop once the imports ahead of it are covered (not a run):
FAIL: unresolved ELF import d7nUj1LOdDU from libkernel.prx
The NID is computed with tools/nid_names.py and matches aerolib.
Follows FreeBSD 11.4 sys/kern/kern_time.c sys_clock_settime and
kern_clock_settime (8c639945a44588f6cfdddfb057bb5aad88735da0) for a
root caller: EFAULT for a null time (copyin), EINVAL for any clock but
CLOCK_REALTIME and for a negative tv_sec or a tv_nsec outside 0 to
999999999. A valid CLOCK_REALTIME request throws with the requested
time named, since the host clock must not be set and no guest clock
offset is kept.

sceKernelConvertUtcToLocaltime and sceKernelConvertLocaltimeToUtc returned
the time unchanged while libc localtime follows the host zone, so a title
that mixes them shows UTC as local time (#5067).

A thread CPU clock whose thread has finished made clock_gettime fail with errno EINVAL, but the sce wrappers passed the raw -1 through to the title. They now return the encoded errno like the other sce kernel calls.
FreeBSD's kern_clock_nanosleep writes the remaining time only when the sleep is cut short. A completed sleep zeroed rmtp, so nanosleep(&ts, &ts) in a polling loop slept zero time from the second call on.
sceKernelGetProcessTime and sceKernelGetProcessTimeCounter measured from
a start captured on their first call, so the first reading was about 0
however long the process had run, and exactly 0 when both reads fell in
one tick of the host clock (100 ns on Windows). Capture the start when
libkernel loads.
scePthreadCancel and pthread_cancel threw, scePthreadTestcancel did
nothing and the cleanup handler exports did not exist.
A cancel request is now recorded on the thread and acted on at
scePthreadTestcancel, the condition variable waits, scePthreadSem and
sem waits, scePthreadJoin and the sleeps, and under their POSIX names.
A thread blocked in one of the waits is woken; a condition wait takes
its mutex back before the thread exits. The thread exits with
PTHREAD_CANCELED through scePthreadExit, which now runs the handlers
of __pthread_cleanup_push_imp and __pthread_cleanup_pop_imp.
scePthreadSetcancelstate and scePthreadSetcanceltype reject unknown
values, and pthread_setcanceltype is added.
Constants, the handler node layout and the order of events follow
FreeBSD libthr. A sleep is not interrupted, file and socket calls are
not cancellation points and the asynchronous type acts like the
deferred one except at the two set calls (TechnicalDebt). New test:
guest_pthread_cancel.
FreeBSD's gettimeofday stores the time only when tp is not null, and
clock_getres the resolution only when res is not null; both succeed
otherwise. Both threw, which aborted a title probing a clock or only
asking for the time zone. Write into a local result instead.

sceKernelGetProcessTime and sceKernelGetProcessTimeCounter subtracted
GetStartNanos() from GetMonotonicNanos() in one expression. GCC reads the
clock first, so on the first call in a process the start was captured
after it and the result wrapped to about 2^64.

clock_gettime and clock_getres served three FreeBSD clock ids with the wrong
clock or not at all:
- CLOCK_VIRTUAL (1) was the monotonic clock on Windows and threw on Linux; it
is the user CPU time of the process.
- CLOCK_PROF (2) threw on both hosts; it is the user plus system CPU time of
the process.
- CLOCK_SECOND (13) returned the coarse realtime clock with nanoseconds and a
sub-second resolution; it is the current second with tv_nsec 0 and a
resolution of one second.
Behaviour follows FreeBSD 11 clock_gettime(2) and kern_clock_gettime /
kern_clock_getres in sys/kern/kern_time.c.

nanosleep and _nanosleep forwarded the result of sceKernelNanosleep, which
returned -1 for a rejected request: errno was never set, and the sce call
returned a value that is not an sce error. A request with negative seconds
was rejected as well, where FreeBSD's kern_nanosleep returns 0 without
sleeping.
nanosleep and _nanosleep now return -1 with errno set to EINVAL when tv_nsec
is outside [0, 1000000000) and to EFAULT for a null request;
sceKernelNanosleep returns the matching SCE_KERNEL_ERROR code. A request
with valid nanoseconds and negative seconds returns 0 at once.

CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID (14) and CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID (15) threw
"unsupported clock_id" on Windows while the Linux branch already maps
them to the native clocks. clock_gettime now returns the user + kernel
time from GetThreadTimes / GetProcessTimes, and clock_getres reports the
clock interrupt period from GetSystemTimeAdjustment, which is the step
those counters actually advance by.

Brings in main up to 9958d26 (homebrew runtime, POSIX wrappers in
libkernel, sce_module guest modules and --skip-sce-module, the --to-intel
general pipeline, libSceRandom, libSceRtc, libScePosixForWebKit,
libRenoirCore, test wiring).
Resolutions where both sides implemented the same thing:
- libkernel pthread: main's structure (lazy static initialisation,
destroyed markers, MutexOperations/CondOperations, mutex protocol and
condattr clock) with this branch's TimedWait deadlines and condition
(precise timed lock/wait on Windows), wait tracing, the adaptive mutex
type 4, POSIX default ERRORCHECK mutexes, EDEADLK/EPERM results instead
of throws, and condition clocks honoured for absolute timeouts.
- libc locale: the guest Dinkumware ABI (_Locimp, facet vtables, short
ctype/case tables, locale ids, stream storage) is kept because guest code
inlines those layouts; main's C character functions are kept on top.
- libc stdio/strings/math: main's stream functions (guest FILE status
sync), strerror/perror, remove, formatting, string and math exports win
over this branch's duplicates.
- libc paths: main's working directory with this branch's path aliases
resolved on the normalised guest path.
- libkernel file: this branch's sceKernel* results as SCE errors, main's
POSIX wrappers and both fstat helpers.
- relinker: this branch's stub lowering keeps its trampolines through the
main executable path; guest modules refuse lowerings that need stubs.
- AGC driver: main's rendering wait is executed by this branch's workers.

libkernel: a TimedWait service for condition variables, semaphores, event flags, rwlocks and
equeues with the scheduler tick; mutex/cond/sem corner cases the title hits; job worker
affinity is opt-in (APS5_JOB_AFFINITY). libc: calloc/realloc heap slot swap, a default
terminate handler with a backtrace, CPU topology helper. libSceRtc export fixes with tests.
libSceVideoOut: APS5_NO_PAD_INPUT ignores host input for unattended measurements,
APS5_FLIP_QUEUE_WAIT keeps a stalled process alive for a debugger. ApplicationHeap and
GuestRtc tests wired into the test build.

- libc: reserve guest memory in one arena below the PS5 map limit with
MEM_WRITE_WATCH (GuestArena) and a caching guest heap; the allocation
registry gains a generation counter, an invalidator callback for the
driver's page cache and a pin waiter for leased ranges. This replaces
the fault-based GuestMemoryTracking/GuestMemoryBacking layer, whose
files are removed.
- libkernel: mmap/mprotect/munmap on the arena, flexible memory budget,
real sceKernelVirtualQuery; POSIX pthread layer, rwlocks, timed locks,
TSD, event flags; 0.5 ms scheduler tick and high-resolution sleeps;
TSC/clock/time functions; file APIs return SCE errno codes; the APR
file-streaming API.
- libc: vectored crash reporter with backtraces for fatal exceptions,
SIGABRT, UCRT invalid parameters and process exit; SSE4a EXTRQ/INSERTQ
emulation for Intel hosts; %ls/%lc/%S/%C with the guest's 16-bit
wchar_t; hand-written setjmp/longjmp for the guest jmp_buf; a path
alias table for short save-data mount points; more string, stdio and
math exports.
