[igt-dev] [PATCH i-g-t 2/3] lib: Align ring measurement to timer

[Chris Wilson]

After hitting the SIGINT from execbuf, wait until the next timer signal
before trying again. This aligns the start of the ioctl to the timer,
hopefully maximising the amount of time we have for processing before
the next signal -- trying to prevent the case where we are scheduled out
in the middle of processing and so hit the timer signal too early.
