Since the process wide cputime counter is started locklessly from posix_cpu_timer_rearm(), it can be concurrently stopped by operations on other timers from the same thread group, such as in the following unlucky scenario: CPU 0 CPU 1 ----- ----- timer_settime(TIMER B) posix_cpu_timer_rearm(TIMER A) cpu_clock_sample_group() (pct->timers_active already true) handle_posix_cpu_timers() check_process_timers() stop_process_timers() pct->timers_active = false arm_timer(TIMER A) tick -> run_posix_cpu_timers() // sees !pct->timers_active, ignore // our TIMER A Fix this with simply locking process wide cputime counting start and timer arm in the same block.
