Roman Podoliaka de7ae358b7 Make eventlet hub use a monotonic clock
If system time is adjusted first forward and then backward while a
nova service is running (e.g. nova-compute), then there is a high
probability, that periodic tasks will stop for the duration of time
the system clock was adjusted backward.

This was supposed to be fixed by the following patch to oslo.service
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/286838/ , but the order of imports
in unit tests and production code is different, so nova services
end up starting with the default eventlet hub, that does not use a
monotonic clock and, thus, is affected by changes of system time.

Testing this is problematic, as it's a subject of imports order and
is not reproduced in functional or unit tests (oslo_service is always
imported earlier than eventlet hub is initialized, so it just does
"the right thing"). The alternative is to make an assertion when
services start.

Closes-Bug: #1510234

Operators

To learn how to deploy and configure OpenStack Nova, consult the documentation available online at:

In the unfortunate event that bugs are discovered, they should be reported to the appropriate bug tracker. If you obtained the software from a 3rd party operating system vendor, it is often wise to use their own bug tracker for reporting problems. In all other cases use the master OpenStack bug tracker, available at:

Developers

For information on how to contribute to Nova, please see the contents of the CONTRIBUTING.rst.

Any new code must follow the development guidelines detailed in the HACKING.rst file, and pass all unit tests.
