POSIX specifies an absolute time for sem_timedwait(), it would be affected if the system time is changing, but there is not a relative time or monotonic clock version of sem_timedwait, so we cannot gain from POSIX semaphore any more. An alternative way is to use sem_trywait + usleep, maybe we can remove CONFIG_SEM_TIMEDWAIT in this way? No, because some systems (e.g. mac os) mark the sem_xxx API as deprecated. So maybe remove the usage of POSIX semaphore and turn to use the pthread variant for all systems looks better. Signed-off-by:
