Pull timer fix from Thomas Gleixner: "A fix for a long standing issue in the alarmtimer code. Posix-timers armed with a short interval with an ignored signal result in an unpriviledged DoS. Due to the ignored signal the timer switches into self rearm mode. This issue had been "fixed" before but a rework of the alarmtimer code 5 years ago lost that workaround. There is no real good solution for this issue, which is also worked around in the core posix-timer code in the same way, but it certainly moved way up on the ever growing todo list" * tag 'timers-urgent-2023-02-19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: alarmtimer: Prevent starvation by small intervals and SIG_IGN
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
