A clock id with CPUCLOCK_PROCESS_BIT threw in clock_gettime and
clock_getres. FreeBSD 11 get_cputime reads the process's CPU time, or
fails with EINVAL when pget finds no such process, and kern_clock_getres
gives every CPU clock the CPU time resolution without a lookup. The
guest's own process clock now reads CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID, any other
fails with EINVAL, as kill already finds no other process.
FreeBSD 11.4's kern_settimeofday rejects a timeval with a microsecond
field outside 0 to 999999 or a negative second field with EINVAL before
changing anything, sets the clock from a valid timeval, and then stores
the timezone, which gettimeofday reports. settimeofday now checks the
timeval the same way and throws for a valid one, as clock_settime does,
because the host clock is not changed. A timezone given without a
timeval is stored and gettimeofday reports it instead of 0 and 0.

sceKernelGetTscFrequency times 20 ms of TSC ticks against the monotonic
clock. A thread that moves to another CPU during the sleep reads its end
value from another TSC. Where the TSCs of the CPUs differ, as on a Windows
VM whose vCPU 0 counts about 3.8 billion ticks ahead of the others, the
frequency came out as 0 or as 180 GHz. Pin the calibrating thread to the
CPU it runs on and restore its affinity afterwards.

On Linux and macOS, sceKernelRaiseException runs the guest handler in
the target's SIGUSR1 handler wherever the thread was interrupted. A
thread interrupted while it held the address-wait lock of
sceKernelSyncOnAddressWait, sceKernelSyncOnAddressWake or _umtx_op ran
the handler with the lock held, so a handler that waits, as a
stop-the-world collector's does, blocked every other thread that waits
on or wakes an address. #5756 fixed this on Windows.
The address-wait lock is now taken under DeliveryDeferral on every
host. On POSIX the deferral is a count per thread: while it is raised
the SIGUSR1 handler only records the signal, and DeliverDeferred sends
it to the thread again once the lock is released. An address waiter
waits on its own semaphore (sem_t, a dispatch semaphore on macOS) with
the lock released and the deferral lifted, so a raise reaches a thread
that waits for an address without a timeout.
The address-lock phases of guest_raise_exception now run on every
host, with a new phase that raises at a thread in an unbounded address
wait.
The PS5 3.20 export lists have ktimer_* in libkernel as well as
libkernel_sys, and on Windows a libkernel import never reaches
libkernel_sys. The implementation moves unchanged to
libkernel/Time/Ktimer.cpp.
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.
kern_clock_nanosleep limits the sleep to INT32_MAX / 2 seconds and sleeps
for that long (sys/kern/kern_time.c:543-547). The guest multiplied tv_sec
by 1e9 in 64 bits, so a request of 18446744074 seconds or more wrapped to a
short sleep: nanosleep with tv_sec = INT64_MAX returned after about 0.1 s.

A wake set after the previous wait returned left the per-thread
auto-reset event signalled, so the next short sleep returned from its
wait at once and spun to its deadline. With APS5_COARSE_TIMED_WAITS or
a request under 50 us the sleep now takes TimedWait::SleepNanos as on
main.

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.
