This need to be fixed on all the branches and the original project too. Let's do the patch review on this particular branch of interest for me. Once this is merged, I will port to the other branches and also the https://github.com/Intel-Media-SDK/MediaSDK project and submit the pull requests. |

Thank you for approving this pull request. I got a similar patch merged into the Intel MediaSDK project Intel-Media-SDK/MediaSDK@f3f9e03. |

This issue is on all version of MediaSDK. Which branches do you need a pull request for ? |

Hi Jeremy, BTW, please add 'Tracked-On: OAM-92928' at the end of your commit message, so that I can merge it. |
Historically time_t has been encoded on Linux as 32-bits signed integer and with Linux 32 bits <5.6 it is still encoded as a 32-bits signed integer. As a consequence beyond January 2038 gettimeofday() will start returning a negative timestamp and this negative timestamp will be supplied to pthread_cond_timedwait() by MediaSDK. The Linux kernel will detects the invalid timestamp and return -EINVAL making MediaSDK unusable. This patch makes use of the 'clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, ...)' to get current time since boot and configure the condition variable to use the same clock. Since this patch only impact the timestamped used for the pthread_cond_timedwait() calls it has no impact in the other components.
