   > If this change will be rejected I will probably need to implement 
something like http://www.makelinux.net/ldd3/chp-7-sect-4.shtml and base POSIX 
timers and `timerfd` on top of it.
   
   Linux timer API even with the latest code still suffer the same issue as 
wdog since both use the tick as unit. You should add a new set API like hrtimer 
which use nanosecond unit: 
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/timers/hrtimers.html. And implement all 
other timer related api on top of hrtimer. Since the unit of arch(up_alarm_xxx 
or up_timer_exx) API in tickless mode use nanosecond unit, it's very lucky that 
we don't need introduce the new arch API to support the high resolution timer.
