From: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@xxxxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 4.1 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== [ Upstream commit 2c13ce8f6b2f6fd9ba2f9261b1939fc0f62d1307 ] 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.
