It also updates liblitmus code to: (1) use init_rt_task_param() or new sporadic_*() convenience routines,  and (2) express time in nanoseconds.  #2 is needed because the sporadic_*() routines expect nanosecond parameters (the old sporadic_task() used milliseconds).  Please note that this branch builds on top of prop/migration-final.  Please further note that this branch depends upon litmus-rt/staging's 181b6bb0f5f122741262edc7ac0eca86d3f6dd73.


Finally got around to merging this. Thanks a lot for the patches. I had to add one compile fix commit on top. GCC 4.4.5 uncovered some aliasing violations (fallout from the earlier -O2 patch).

Thanks,
Björn
