From 2c8bd58812ee3dbf0d78b566822f7eacd34bdd7b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Ahmed S. Darwish" Date: Mon, 9 Mar 2020 18:15:29 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] time/sched_clock: Expire timer in hardirq context To minimize latency, PREEMPT_RT kernels expires hrtimers in preemptible softirq context by default. This can be overriden by marking the timer's expiry with HRTIMER_MODE_HARD. sched_clock_timer is missing this annotation: if its callback is preempted and the duration of the preemption exceeds the wrap around time of the underlying clocksource, sched clock will get out of sync. Mark the sched_clock_timer for expiry in hard interrupt context. Signed-off-by: Ahmed S.
