 Perfect. Many thanks.

 I agree that such check is technically useless.
 I cannot imagine usage of such restriction.
 
 The only reason of this check is wording of POSIX standard in
 http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/clock_getres.html
 
 "The clock_getres(), clock_gettime(), and clock_settime() functions shall 
 fail if:
 [EINVAL]
      The clock_id argument does not specify a known clock."
 
 But this behaviour can be easily added in userspace wrapper.
 Similarly as
 " The clock_settime() function shall fail if:
 [EINVAL]
    The value of the clock_id argument is CLOCK_MONOTONIC."
 
 The kernel returns EPERM for ordinary user.
 
 
 Would be possible to MFC SYS_clock_getcpuclockid2
 and related kernel changes into STABLE-9 ?
 
 Thanks again
