Here as well, SAFE_CLOCK_GETTIME() uses struct timespec as defined by
libc, so we have to either use syscall that corresponds to the
begin->type (tv->clock_gettime), or covert the value from
SAFE_CLOCK_GETTIME() into the right type. I guess that it would look
like:

	struct timespec begin_ts;

	SAFE_CLOCK_GETTIME(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &begin_ts);

	tst_ts_set_sec(begin, begin_ts.tv_sec);
	tst_ts_set_nsec(begin, begin_ts.tv_nsec);

Or maybe we can add tst_ts_convert() that would convert the timespec
into a different type. That way we may do:

	begin->type = TST_LIBC_TIMESPEC;

	SAFE_CLOCK_GETTIME(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, tst_ts_get(begin));

	tst_ts_convert(begin, tv->type);

static inline void tst_ts_convert(struct tst_ts t, enum tst_ts_type type)
{
	long long sec = tst_ts_get_sec(t);
	long long nsec = tst_ts_get_nsec(t);

	t->type = type;

	tst_ts_set_sec(t, sec);
	tst_ts_set_sec(t, nsec);
}

These three lines could be just:

	*sleep_child = tst_tst_from_us(sleep_child->type, PARENT_SLEEP_US);

No need to zero it and then add the sleep value in us.

Here as well, we either have to keep everything in the libc timespec and
use the tst_timespec_*() functions or covert the values properly.

The SAFE_CLOCK_*() calls work with the struct timespec as defined by
libc. Using the tst_ts_get() here with the variant is wrong in this
case. The tst_ts_get() can be used only when we use the corresponding
tv->foo calls.

In this case we simply need to define the begin and sleep_parent as
struct timespec.
