"POSIX.1 specifies that if the timer overrun count is equal to or greater "
"than an implementation-defined maximum, B<DELAYTIMER_MAX>, then "
"B<timer_getoverrun>()  should return B<DELAYTIMER_MAX>.  However, before "
"Linux 4.19, if the timer overrun value exceeds the maximum representable "
"integer, the counter cycles, starting once more from low values.  Since "
"Linux 4.19, B<timer_getoverrun>()  returns B<DELAYTIMER_MAX> (defined as "
"B<INT_MAX> in I<E<lt>limits.hE<gt>>)  in this case (and the overrun value is "
"reset to 0)."
