Linus Torvalds 0097c18e45 A fix for a long standing issue in the alarmtimer code: 
Posix-timers armed with a short interval with an ignored signal result
  in an unpriviledged DoS. Due to the ignored signal the timer switches
  into self rearm mode. This issue had been "fixed" before but a rework of
  the alarmtimer code 5 years ago lost that workaround.
 
  There is no real good solution for this issue, which is also worked around
  in the core posix-timer code in the same way, but it certainly moved way
  up on the ever growing todo list.
