nohz: Fix collision between tick and other hrtimers
When the tick is stopped and an interrupt occurs afterward, we check on that interrupt exit if the next tick needs to be rescheduled. If it doesn't need any update, we don't want to do anything. In order to check if the tick needs an update, we compare it against the clockevent device deadline. Now that's a problem because the clockevent device is at a lower level than the tick itself if it is implemented on top of hrtimer. Every hrtimer share this clockevent device. So comparing the next tick deadline against the clockevent device deadline is wrong because the device may be programmed for another hrtimer whose deadline collides with the tick. As a result we may end up not reprogramming the tick accidentally. In a worst case scenario under full dynticks mode, the tick stops firing as it is supposed to every 1hz, leaving /proc/stat stalled: Task in a full dynticks CPU ---------------------------- * hrtimer A is queued 2 seconds ahead * the tick is stopped, scheduled 1 second ahead * tick fires 1 second later * on tick exit, nohz schedules the tick 1 second ahead but sees the clockevent device is already programmed to that deadline, fooled by hrtimer A, the tick isn't rescheduled. * hrtimer A is cancelled before its deadline * tick never fires again until an interrupt happens... In order to fix this, store the next tick deadline to the tick_sched local structure and reuse that value later to check whether we need to reprogram the clock after an interrupt. On the other hand, ts->sleep_length still wants to know about the next clock event and not just the tick, so we want to improve the related comment to avoid confusion.
