Christoph Muellner 0cb40f415b RISC-V: Reliably initialize t0 in _times()
The current implementation does not reliably initialize t0 once.
Additionally the initialization requires two calls to _gettimeofday().
Let's sacrifice a byte to keep the initialization status
and reduce the maximum number of calls to _gettimeofday().

This has caused issues in an application that invokes clock().
The problematic situation is as follows:

1) The program calls clock() which calls _times().
2) _gettimeofday(&t0, 0) puts 0 in t0.tv_usec (because less than 1 us has
   elapsed since the beginning of time).
3) _gettimeofday(&t, 0) puts 1 in t.tv_usec (since now more than 1 us has
   elapsed since the beginning of time).
4) That call to clock() returns 1 (the value from step 3 minus the value in
   step 2).
5) The program does a second call to clock().
6) The code above still sees 0 in t0 so it tries to update t0 again and
   _gettimeofday(&t0, 0) puts 1 in t0.tv_usec.
7) The _gettimeofday(&t, 0) puts 1 in t.tv_usec (since less than 1us has
   elapsed since step 3).
8) clock() returns 0 (step 7 minus step 6) and indicates that time is
   moving backwards.

README

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
