[patch 42/45] signal: Queue ignored posixtimers on ignore list

From: Thomas Gleixner
Date: Tue Jun 06 2023 - 10:41:02 EST


Queue posixtimers which have their signal ignored on the ignored list:

1) When the timer fires and the signal has SIG_IGN set

2) When SIG_IGN is installed via sigaction() and a timer signal
is queued

This completes the SIG_IGN handling and such timers are not longer self
rearmed which avoids pointless wakeups.
