Description of problem: There are a few problems with timer syscalls on 4.5.7. - the use of clockflags does not take into account that the value might be zero. There are two uses. - printsigevent() should print the sigev_signo values as a symbol signal name if the notifcation type is SIGEV_SIGNAL - timer_create should print the first parameter with a symbolic name Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): strace-4.5.7-2 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1.strace the rt/tst-timer program in glibc 2. 3. Actual results: timer_create(0, {(nil), 14, SIGEV_SIGNAL, {...}}, {(nil)}) = 0 timer_create(0, {0x8b25098, 32, SIGEV_THREAD_ID, {8687}}, {0x2}) = 0 timer_settime(0x1, , {it_interval={0, 100000000}, it_value={0, 500000000}}, {it_interval={0, 0}, it_value={0, 0}}) = 0 Expected results: timer_create(CLOCK_REALTIME, {(nil), SIGALRM, SIGEV_SIGNAL, {...}}, {(nil)}) = 0 timer_create(CLOCK_REALTIME, {0x86ef098, 32, SIGEV_THREAD_ID, {8645}}, {0x2}) = 0 timer_settime(0x1, 0, {it_interval={0, 100000000}, it_value={0, 500000000}}, {it_interval={0, 0}, it_value={0, 0}}) = 0 Additional info: I'll attach a patch.
