Test that POSIX timers using CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID eventually deliver
a signal to all running threads.  This effectively tests that the kernel
doesn't prefer any one thread (or subset of threads) for signal delivery.

v6:
- Update wording on what the test aims to test.
- Fix formatting per checkpatch.pl.

Use APIs from kselftest.h. Use ksft_print_msg() here.

ksft_perror() here

ksft_test_result or _pass variant as needed?

Muhammad,

I am sorry, but... are you aware that this patch was applied over a year ago,
and then this code was updated to use the ksft_API?

Oleg.

Sorry, didn't realized this is already applied. So this patch is already
applied and it has already been made compliant.
