If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Hung-Jui Lin [ Upstream commit 141a27750ec3d91ad9d1ad1764ebb5e51b963478 ] SIGEV_NONE timers are never queued. common_timer_get() emulates their expiry by computing the remaining time from the stored expiry value. Because an armed SIGEV_NONE oneshot timer is not queued, its it_status stays POSIX_TIMER_DISARMED. So common_timer_get() cannot use it_status to skip a disarmed SIGEV_NONE timer and evaluates the stored expiry value for all SIGEV_NONE timers. Disarming a timer with timer_settime() and a zero it_value cancels the timer and sets it_status to POSIX_TIMER_DISARMED, but leaves the expiry value unchanged. As a consequence, timer_gettime() on a disarmed SIGEV_NONE timer reports the remaining time of the previous arming until that time has passed, instead of zero as POSIX requires for a disarmed timer. Example with a CLOCK_MONOTONIC timer armed with it_value = 10ms and it_interval = 100ms, then disarmed with an all-zero itimerspec: armed: it_value = 0.009999000 it_interval = 0.100000000 disarmed: it_value = 0.008700792 it_interval = 0.000000000 SIGEV_SIGNAL timers and SIGEV_NONE CPU timers report zero in the same situation. All clocks which use common_timer_get() are affected, including the alarm timer clocks. Mark SIGEV_NONE timers as POSIX_TIMER_ARMED when they are armed, so that common_timer_get() returns early for every disarmed timer. Forward SIGEV_NONE interval timers in common_timer_get() regardless of it_status, as they are never queued and therefore never forwarded by the expiry code. After the change the disarmed timer above reports zero. Armed SIGEV_NONE oneshot and interval timers on CLOCK_MONOTONIC, CLOCK_REALTIME, CLOCK_BOOTTIME and CLOCK_BOOTTIME_ALARM still report their remaining time, and the posix_timers selftest passes.
