Frederic Weisbecker ae4f109b95 tick: Detect and fix jiffies update stall
commit a1ff03cd6f upstream.

On some rare cases, the timekeeper CPU may be delaying its jiffies
update duty for a while. Known causes include:

* The timekeeper is waiting on stop_machine in a MULTI_STOP_DISABLE_IRQ
  or MULTI_STOP_RUN state. Disabled interrupts prevent from timekeeping
  updates while waiting for the target CPU to complete its
  stop_machine() callback.

* The timekeeper vcpu has VMEXIT'ed for a long while due to some overload
  on the host.

Detect and fix these situations with emergency timekeeping catchups.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
