Subject[PATCH v3 1/3] posix_timers: do not account group_exec_runtime for dying autoreaped tasks
From
Date


Forbids the cputimer to drift ahead of its process clock by
blocking its update when a tick occurs while a autoreaping task
is currently in do_exit() between the call to release_task() and
its final call to schedule().

Any task stats update after having called release_task() will
be lost because they are added to the global process stats located
in the signal struct from release_task().
