[patch 2/2] alarm unsigned signed conversion fixup

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



alarm() calls the kernel with an unsigend int timeout in seconds.
The value is converted to a timeval which is used to setup the
itimer. The tv_sec field of the timeval is a long, which causes
the timeout to be negative on 32 bit machines if seconds > INT_MAX.
Also this was silently caught before the hrtimer merge. 
To avoid fixups all over the place the duplicated sys_alarm code 
is moved to itimer.c.
