Anna-Maria Behnsen df7dbfc24c hrtimer: Update softirq_expires_next correctly after __hrtimer_get_next_event()
[ Upstream commit 46eb1701c0 ]

hrtimer_force_reprogram() and hrtimer_interrupt() invokes
__hrtimer_get_next_event() to find the earliest expiry time of hrtimer
bases. __hrtimer_get_next_event() does not update
cpu_base::[softirq_]_expires_next to preserve reprogramming logic. That
needs to be done at the callsites.

hrtimer_force_reprogram() updates cpu_base::softirq_expires_next only when
the first expiring timer is a softirq timer and the soft interrupt is not
activated. That's wrong because cpu_base::softirq_expires_next is left
stale when the first expiring timer of all bases is a timer which expires
in hard interrupt context. hrtimer_interrupt() does never update
cpu_base::softirq_expires_next which is wrong too.

That becomes a problem when clock_settime() sets CLOCK_REALTIME forward and
the first soft expiring timer is in the CLOCK_REALTIME_SOFT base. Setting
CLOCK_REALTIME forward moves the clock MONOTONIC based expiry time of that
timer before the stale cpu_base::softirq_expires_next.

cpu_base::softirq_expires_next is cached to make the check for raising the
soft interrupt fast. In the above case the soft interrupt won't be raised
until clock monotonic reaches the stale cpu_base::softirq_expires_next
value. That's incorrect, but what's worse it that if the softirq timer
becomes the first expiring timer of all clock bases after the hard expiry
timer has been handled the reprogramming of the clockevent from
hrtimer_interrupt() will result in an interrupt storm. That happens because
the reprogramming does not use cpu_base::softirq_expires_next, it uses
__hrtimer_get_next_event() which returns the actual expiry time. Once clock
MONOTONIC reaches cpu_base::softirq_expires_next the soft interrupt is
raised and the storm subsides.

Change the logic in hrtimer_force_reprogram() to evaluate the soft and hard
bases seperately, update softirq_expires_next and handle the case when a
soft expiring timer is the first of all bases by comparing the expiry times
and updating the required cpu base fields. Split this functionality into a
separate function to be able to use it in hrtimer_interrupt() as well
without copy paste.
