autofs-5.1.1 - use monotonic clock for alarm thread condition wait From: Yu Ning The time returned by gettimeofday() is affected by discontinuous jumps in the system time, so it causes an issue that autofs may not auto unmount a mount point if system time is manually changed by the system administrator. To fix the issue we need to convert to using a monotonic clock source instead of the clock source used by gettimeofday(). Convert the alarm_handler() to use a monotonic clock source.
