4.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@xxxxxxxxx>
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.
