[OE-core] [PATCH 08/11] rt-tests: fix cyclictest reported 1 sec latencies

[Mark Hatle]

From: Jim Somerville <Jim.Somerville at windriver.com>

[ CQID: WIND00391769 ]

Huge latencies reported close to 1 second when certain options
are used in cyclictest.

Extend the original commit to remove the 1 second hardcoded
timer values from the RELTIME and ITIMER options.  Use the
the actual interval instead.

+Subject: [PATCH 1/1] cyclictest: finish removal of 1 second first loops
+
+Observation:
+Huge latencies reported close to 1 second when certain options
+are used in cyclictest.
+
+Problem:
+[ commit da4956cbcaf7945554f30e4d3a9be09b1431b19a
+    use interval on first loop instead of 1 second ]
+removed the 1 second first timing loop out of the main path
+in cyclictest but left it in two other paths, namely the ones
+triggered by these two options:
+-r       --relative        use relative timer instead of absolute
+-s       --system          use sys_nanosleep and sys_setitimer
+This causes huge latencies of close to 1 second to be reported
+by cyclictest with certain uses of those two options.
+
+Fix:
+Extend the original commit to remove the 1 second hardcoded
+timer values from the RELTIME and ITIMER options.  Use the
+the actual interval instead.
