From 470f47fcf2a5f9c22081c1c4708e6948e3c2dc13 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexey Dobriyan Date: Fri, 8 Jul 2016 01:39:11 +0300 Subject: posix_cpu_timer: Exit early when process has been reaped commit 2c13ce8f6b2f6fd9ba2f9261b1939fc0f62d1307 upstream. Variable "now" seems to be genuinely used unintialized if branch if (CPUCLOCK_PERTHREAD(timer->it_clock)) { is not taken and branch if (unlikely(sighand == NULL)) { is taken. In this case the process has been reaped and the timer is marked as disarmed anyway. So none of the postprocessing of the sample is required. Return right away.
