Subject[PATCH] POSIX timers SMP race condition
Fix run_posix_cpu_timers()/do_exit() race condition

CPU0:

do_exit()
tsk->flags |= PF_EXITING;
/* Make sure we don't try to process any timer firings
* while we are already exiting.
*/
tsk->it_virt_expires = cputime_zero;
tsk->it_prof_expires = cputime_zero;
tsk->it_sched_expires = 0;

<window>

exit_notify()
tsk->exit_state = xxx;

CPU1 (executes this code in the <window>):

setitimer()
process_timer_rebalance()
tsk->it_prof_expires=xxx;

This triggers the BUG_ON(tsk->exit_state) in run_posix_cpu_timers().
