Currently, if there are more than 100 ready-to-invoke RCU callbacks queued on a given CPU, the rcu_do_batch() function sets a timeout for invocation of the series. This timeout defaulting to three milliseconds, and may be adjusted using the rcutree.rcu_resched_ns kernel boot parameter. This timeout is checked using local_clock(), but the overhead of this function combined with the common-case very small callback-invocation overhead means that local_clock() is checked every 32nd invocation. This works well except for longer-than average callbacks. For example, a series of 500-microsecond-duration callbacks means that local_clock() is checked only once every 16 milliseconds, which makes it difficult to enforce a three-millisecond timeout. This commit therefore adds a Kconfig option RCU_DOUBLE_CHECK_CB_TIME that enables backup timeout checking using the coarser grained but lighter weight jiffies. If the jiffies counter detects a timeout, then local_clock() is consulted even if this is not the 32nd callback. This prevents the aforementioned 16-millisecond latency blow.
