From 1f169f84d25a74fb2dc67274d31d082ce30c60fb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stanislaw Gruszka Date: Thu, 11 Mar 2010 14:04:41 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] cpu-timers: Change SIGEV_NONE timer implementation When user sets up a timer without associated signal and process does not use any other cpu timers and does not exit, tsk->signal->cputimer is enabled and running forever. Avoid running the timer for no reason. I used below program to check patch does not break current user space visible behavior. #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include void consume_cpu(void) { int i = 0; int count = 0; for(i=0; i<100000000; i++) count++; } int main(void) { int i; struct sigaction act; struct sigevent evt = { }; timer_t tid; struct itimerspec spec = { }; evt.sigev_notify = SIGEV_NONE; assert(timer_create(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID, &evt, &tid) == 0); spec.it_value.tv_sec = 10; assert(timer_settime(tid, 0, &spec, NULL) == 0); for (i = 0; i < 30; i++) { consume_cpu(); memset(&spec, 0, sizeof(spec)); assert(timer_gettime(tid, &spec) == 0); printf("%lu.%09lu\n", (unsigned long) spec.it_value.tv_sec, (unsigned long) spec.it_value.tv_nsec); } assert(timer_delete(tid) == 0); return 0; } Signed-off-by: Stanislaw Gruszka Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Oleg Nesterov Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Hidetoshi Seto Cc: Balbir Singh Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner --- Reading git-format-patch failed
