Based on my understanding to gethrtime(), the main benefit is not to be

clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW, ts);

which I checked seems to be available on both Linux and Mac. Haven’t test it 
though.

Not guaranteed to be available - either clock_gettime function or that particular clock - at build time or runtime. We use a check in the build system to determine build-time availability for hotspot, and then use dl_lookup etc at runtime to determine if actually available. We should be able to get rid of this one day but we checked fairly recently and there were still some issues.

gettimeofday is a lot better than returning 1. Otherwise call into the VM and use JVM_NanoTime.

Subject: RFR(S): 8241638: launcher time metrics alway report 1 on Linux when 
_JAVA_LAUNCHER_DEBUG set

Dear All,
May I ask your help to review this tiny fix?
     Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8241638
     Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~lzang/8241638/webrev01/
Thanks!

Using gettimeofday on non-Solaris platforms seems reasonable here. The comment 
in the patch suggests Linux but it's other Unix builds too. Also just a minor 
nit that the code in java.base uses 4-space indent, not 2. Looking at the patch 
makes me wondering if we should remove HAVE_GETHRTIME as it seems to be only 
used on Solaris and the launcher is already using #ifdef __solaris__ in several 
places. Henry, do you have any comments on this?

-Alan
