Merge tag 'timers-urgent-2021-11-14' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull timer fix from Thomas Gleixner: "A single fix for POSIX CPU timers to address a problem where POSIX CPU timer delivery stops working for a new child task because copy_process() copies state information which is only valid for the parent task" * tag 'timers-urgent-2021-11-14' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: posix-cpu-timers: Clear task::posix_cputimers_work in copy_process()
