--- Comment #1 from Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@xxxxxxxxx> ---
Regarding point 1, I applied the following patch:

@@ -172,7 +172,8 @@ which may have discontinuities if the time is changed using
 .BR settimeofday (2).
 .TP
 .BR CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID " (since Linux 2.6.12)"
-High-resolution per-process timer from the CPU.
+Per-process CPU-time clock
+(measures CPU time consumed by all threads in the process).
 .TP
 .BR CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID " (since Linux 2.6.12)"
 Thread-specific CPU-time clock.

Regarding point 2, I think the problem you are concerned about was addressed in
an earlier commit; see
