The latter is done in trunk revision 117621. If you suspect a weird
issue with timers, re-run with EMACS_IGNORE_TIMERFD environment
variable set (and report your problems, of course).
If there was no previous discussion, could you explain a bit?
Emacs' input reading is very complicated, and asynchronous signals
complicates it even more. With timerfd and its counterpart signalfd,
it's (in theory) possible to build a completely synchronous event
loop and (hopefully) simplify a lot of things. Unfortunately this
is GNU/Linux-specific.
