commit 4fbf5d6837bf81fd7a27d771358f4ee6c4f243f8 upstream.
The FUTEX_WAIT operand has historically a relative timeout which means that the clock id is irrelevant as relative timeouts on CLOCK_REALTIME are not subject to wall clock changes and therefore are mapped by the kernel to CLOCK_MONOTONIC for simplicity.
If a caller would set FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME for FUTEX_WAIT the timeout is still treated relative vs. CLOCK_MONOTONIC and then the wait arms that timeout based on CLOCK_REALTIME which is broken and obviously has never been used or even tested.
Reject any attempt to use FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME with FUTEX_WAIT again.
The desired functionality can be achieved with FUTEX_WAIT_BITSET and a FUTEX_BITSET_MATCH_ANY argument.
