Sure with pleasure. My testcase is glibc-2.17/rt/tst-cputimer1.c

That being said, it strictly test CPUCLOCK_SCHED timers. Hence my focus
when modifying the code was strictly on sum_exec_runtime.

If utime and stime components of cputimer are moving faster than their
associated clock, this is something that I did not address.
