Log:
  clock_gettime(2),gettimeofday(2): Remove [EFAULT] error.
  
  Depending on system configuration and parameters, clock_gettime() and
  gettimeofday() may not be system calls. If so, passing an invalid pointer
  will cause a signal and not an [EFAULT] error.
  
  From a standards perspective, this is OK since passing an invalid pointer is
  undefined behaviour.
