[PATCH 4/6 -mm] cpu-timers: change SIGEV_NONE timer implementation

From: Stanislaw Gruszka
Date: Wed Jan 20 2010 - 07:38:21 EST


When user will setup 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, change that.

I used below program to check patch does not break current user space
visible behavior.

#include <sys/time.h>
#include <signal.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <assert.h>

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;
}
