Subject: RE: clock err in timers (alarm, status ...) and fix
Err, a timer set at 10 sec will abort after approx. 15 sec. See below:

In the first case, OS_TIMER=1,in the second one OS_TIMER=0 (as per arch.h,
disabled for OpenCL). I guess we should have some more precise timers for
OpenCL builds too :)

Actually, it varies by arch, and glibc obtains the value from the AT_CLKTCK
element in the auxiliary vector passed by the kernel on the stack of the
newly started program. (This avoids having to make a syscall to find this
value out from the kernel.) The hard-coded value of 100 in glibc is only a
fallback for the case that AT_CLKTCK is somehow not present. On recent
kernels, this fallback should not be occurring.
Then, this value is not used by JtR as extensively as you seem to imply.
It is used to convert the values returned by times(2) to seconds.
I think this is correct. It is also used in a few other places (relatively
unimportant), but it is not used for setting up timer intervals with the
kernel. Instead, TIMER_INTERVAL (normally 1) is passed directly into
setitimer() via the tv_sec field.

Hmm. Does your system somehow use HZ=125? What arch? What kernel build? -
a distro's or your custom (is the config custom too)? What glibc version
and build?
Does your build of JtR have OS_TIMER enabled?
Thanks,
Alexander
