selftests: timers: Fix abs() warning in posix_timers test

Building with clang results in the following warning:

posix_timers.c:69:6: warning: absolute value function 'abs' given an
argument of type 'long long' but has parameter of type 'int' which may
cause truncation of value [-Wabsolute-value]
if (abs(diff - DELAY * USECS_PER_SEC) > USECS_PER_SEC / 2) {
^
So switch to using llabs() instead.

selftests: timers: Fix posix_timers ksft_print_msg() warning

After commit 6d029c25b71f ("selftests/timers/posix_timers: Reimplement
check_timer_distribution()") the following warning occurs when building
with an older gcc:

posix_timers.c:250:2: warning: format not a string literal and no format arguments [-Wformat-security]
250 | ksft_print_msg(errmsg);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fix this up by changing it to ksft_print_msg("%s", errmsg)

selftests/timers/posix_timers: Reimplement check_timer_distribution()

check_timer_distribution() runs ten threads in a busy loop and tries to
test that the kernel distributes a process posix CPU timer signal to every
thread over time.

There is not guarantee that this is true even after commit bcb7ee79029d
("posix-timers: Prefer delivery of signals to the current thread") because
that commit only avoids waking up the sleeping process leader thread, but
that has nothing to do with the actual signal delivery.

As the signal is process wide the first thread which observes sigpending
and wins the race to lock sighand will deliver the signal. Testing shows
that this hangs on a regular base because some threads never win the race.

The comment "This primarily tests that the kernel does not favour any one."
is wrong. The kernel does favour a thread which hits the timer interrupt
when CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID expires.

Rewrite the test so it only checks that the group leader sleeping in join()
never receives SIGALRM and the thread which burns CPU cycles receives all
signals.

In older kernels which do not have commit bcb7ee79029d ("posix-timers:
Prefer delivery of signals to the current thread") the test-case fails
immediately, the very 1st tick wakes the leader up. Otherwise it quickly
succeeds after 100 ticks.

CI testing wants to use newer selftest versions on stable kernels. In this
case the test is guaranteed to fail.

So check in the failure case whether the kernel version is less than v6.3
and skip the test result in that case.

selftests: timers: Convert posix_timers test to generate KTAP output

Currently the posix_timers test does not produce KTAP output but rather a
custom format. This means that we only get a pass/fail for the suite, not
for each individual test that the suite does. Convert to using the standard
kselftest output functions which result in KTAP output being generated.

As part of this fix the printing of diagnostics in the unlikely event that
the pthread APIs fail, these were using perror() but the API functions
directly return an error code instead of setting errno.

selftests/timers/posix_timers: Test delivery of signals across threads

Test that POSIX timers using CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID eventually deliver
a signal to all running threads. This effectively tests that the kernel
doesn't prefer any one thread (or subset of threads) for signal delivery.

selftests/timers: Quiet warning due to lack of return check on brk

The posix_timers.c test has a loop that tries to keep it in
kernel space, repeatedly calling brk(). However, it doesn't
check the return value, which causes warnings.

This patch adds a err value which captures the return value
and modifies the test so it will quit if a failure occurs.

selftests: add basic posix timers selftests

Add some initial basic tests on a few posix timers interface such as
setitimer() and timer_settime().

These simply check that expiration happens in a reasonable timeframe after
expected elapsed clock time (user time, user + system time, real time,
...).

This is helpful for finding basic breakages while hacking
on this subsystem.
