 * poll, and never farther apart than MAX_DELAY_MS*2. The poll's timeout should

 *

 * clock_init_thread_date() must also have been called once for each thread.
 *
 * An offset is used to adjust the current time (date), to figure a monotonic
 * local time (now_ns). The offset is not critical, as it is only updated after
 * a clock jump is detected. From this point all threads will apply it to their
 * locally measured time, and will then agree around a common monotonic
 * global_now_ns value that serves to further refine their local time. Both
 * now_ns and global_now_ns are 64-bit integers counting nanoseconds since a
 * vague reference (it starts roughly 20s before the next wrap-around of the
 * millisecond counter after boot). The offset is also an integral number of
 * nanoseconds, but it's signed so that the clock can be adjusted in the two
