Subject: [PATCH] posix_cpu_timer: uninitialized variable use in posix_cpu_timer_get()
Date: Fri, 8 Jul 2016 01:39:11 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160707223911.GA26483@p183.telecom.by> (raw)

Variable "now" seems to be genuinely used unintialized
if branch

	if (CPUCLOCK_PERTHREAD(timer->it_clock)) {

is not taken and branch

	if (unlikely(sighand == NULL)) {

is taken.

I don't know this code to judge what should be done, could someone
please look at it?
