SetTimer() now uses getitimer() to sending SIGALRM every ` UnitTimeoutSec/2 + 1` s
Set UnitTimeoutSec with the `-timeout=` option

 "POSIX.1-2008 marks getitimer() and setitimer() obsolete" and also has some issues regarding accuracy of the timers under load . See https://linux.die.net/man/2/setitimer.
I propose using timer_create() and sigaction() ,See http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/timer_create.2.html

# test result on my x86_64 linux
`make check-fuzzer`
