Frederic Weisbecker 8cd9da85d2 posix-cpu-timers: Prevent spuriously armed 0-value itimer
Resetting/stopping an itimer eventually leads to it being reprogrammed
with an actual "0" value. As a result the itimer expires on the next
tick, triggering an unexpected signal.

To fix this, make sure that
struct signal_struct::it[CPUCLOCK_PROF/VIRT]::expires is set to 0 when
setitimer() passes a 0 it_value, indicating that the timer must stop.

Fixes: 406dd42bd1 ("posix-cpu-timers: Force next expiration recalc after itimer reset")

README

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.
