Subject: [PATCH] relibc: implement setitimer() using POSIX
 timer_create/timer_settime
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Replaced ENOSYS stub with real implementation for ITIMER_REAL.

Uses timer_create(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, SIGEV_SIGNAL, SIGALRM) followed
by timer_settime to set the interval timer. ITIMER_VIRTUAL and
ITIMER_PROF still return ENOSYS (need per-process CPU time
accounting which Red Bear does not implement).

Cross-referenced with Linux 7.1 kernel/time/itimer.c which
implements setitimer via do_setitimer → hrtimer.

This fixes ualarm() and any legacy code that still uses setitimer(2).
