Not certain I understand.  You suggest Linux.Unix.Mod may be invoking 
a Linux procedure not available in the extant system; correct?

Ref. https://easthope.ca/A2trap2026.07.15.txt
Four traps.  A trap for each core in the machine here?

Unfamiliar territory for me.  Appears I should study the evolution of 
Linux clocks from the 32 bit machines to 64 bit.  Then try to modify 
Linux.Unix.Mod to invoke procedures accordingly.  Significant project.

https://linux.die.net/man/2/clock_getres has "Note for SMP systems".

Thanks,                       ... P.L.
