Nicolas Saenz Julienne 0ff2ea9d8f timers: Fix get_next_timer_interrupt() with no timers pending 
[ Upstream commit aebacb7f6ca1926918734faae14d1f0b6fae5cb7 ]

31cd0e119d ("timers: Recalculate next timer interrupt only when
necessary") subtly altered get_next_timer_interrupt()'s behaviour. The
function no longer consistently returns KTIME_MAX with no timers
pending.

In order to decide if there are any timers pending we check whether the
next expiry will happen NEXT_TIMER_MAX_DELTA jiffies from now.
Unfortunately, the next expiry time and the timer base clock are no
longer updated in unison. The former changes upon certain timer
operations (enqueue, expire, detach), whereas the latter keeps track of
jiffies as they move forward. Ultimately breaking the logic above.

A simplified example:

- Upon entering get_next_timer_interrupt() with:

	jiffies = 1
	base->clk = 0;
	base->next_expiry = NEXT_TIMER_MAX_DELTA;

  'base->next_expiry == base->clk + NEXT_TIMER_MAX_DELTA', the function
  returns KTIME_MAX.

- 'base->clk' is updated to the jiffies value.

- The next time we enter get_next_timer_interrupt(), taking into account
  no timer operations happened:

	base->clk = 1;
	base->next_expiry = NEXT_TIMER_MAX_DELTA;

  'base->next_expiry != base->clk + NEXT_TIMER_MAX_DELTA', the function
  returns a valid expire time, which is incorrect.

This ultimately might unnecessarily rearm sched's timer on nohz_full
setups, and add latency to the system[1].

So, introduce 'base->timers_pending'[2], update it every time
'base->next_expiry' changes, and use it in get_next_timer_interrupt().

[1] See tick_nohz_stop_tick().
[2] A quick pahole check on x86_64 and arm64 shows it doesn't make
    'struct timer_base' any bigger.

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.
