- * Get the number of overruns of a POSIX.1b interval timer.  This is to
- * be the overrun of the timer last delivered.  At the same time we are
- * accumulating overruns on the next timer.  The overrun is frozen when
- * the signal is delivered, either at the notify time (if the info block
- * is not queued) or at the actual delivery time (as we are informed by
- * the call back to posixtimer_rearm().  So all we need to do is
- * to pick up the frozen overrun.
+/**
+ * sys_timer_getoverrun - Get the number of overruns of a POSIX.1b interval timer
+ * @timer_id:	The timer ID which identifies the timer
+ *
+ * The "overrun count" of a timer is one plus the number of expiration
+ * intervals which have elapsed between the first expiry, which queues the
+ * signal and the actual signal delivery. On signal delivery the "overrun
+ * count" is calculated and cached, so it can be returned directly here.
+ *
+ * As this is relative to the last queued signal the returned overrun count
+ * is meaningless outside of the signal delivery path and even there it
+ * does not accurately reflect the current state when user space evaluates
+ * it.
+ *
+ * Returns:
+ *	-EINVAL		@timer_id is invalid
+ *	1..INT_MAX	The number of overruns related to the last delivered signal
