I agree, this code (clock_gettime(MONOTONIC) + computation) is duplicated
quite a lot. Yes, get_time_stamp is exactly the same. int64_t/uint64_t in
this case is not that different but for a generic function I would prefer
the signed version as unsigned could cause some overflows (well, is much
likely to cause them). The range is enough to cover any possible value from
red_get_monotonic_time/get_time_stamp.

I don't think is much more readable. Personally NANO_SECOND seems a time
measure instead of a time conversion constant I would prefer something like
NANOSECONDS_PER_SECOND but well, it's obviously 1000 * 1000 * 1000 !
Note that in the patch the LL is useless as the conversion is explicit
on the first factor.

The patch was pushed but I don't see any drawback in improving it.
