The patch titled
high-res timers: core, do itimer rearming in process context, fix2
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
high-res-timers-core-do-itimer-rearming-in-process-context-fix2.patch
This patch was dropped because an updated version will be merged
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: high-res timers: core, do itimer rearming in process context, fix2
From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
The rearming code in signal.c has to read the time and can not rely on the
timer->base->softirq time anymore, as it is not longer running in softirq
context.
Ensure, that the it_real_incr variable in the shared signal struct is set
to zero, when setitimer disables the itimer. Otherwise it could happen
that an inactive itimer gets rearmed by a SIGALRM.
