hulk inclusion category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I8PL17 CVE: NA
----------------------------------------
It was found that running the LTP hotplug stress test on a aarch64 system could produce rcu_sched stall warnings. The issue is the following:
CPU1 (owns the broadcast hrtimer) CPU2
tick_broadcast_enter() //shut down local timer device ... tick_broadcast_exit() //exits with tick_broadcast_force_mask set, timer device remains disabled
initiates offlining of CPU1 take_cpu_down() //CPU1 shuts down and does not send broadcast IPI anymore takedown_cpu() hotplug_cpu__broadcast_tick_pull() //move broadcast hrtimer to this CPU clockevents_program_event() bc_set_next() hrtimer_start() //does not call hrtimer_reprogram() to program timer device if expires equals dev->next_event, so the timer device remains disabled.
CPU2 takes over the broadcast duty but local timer device is disabled, causing many CPUs to become stuck.
Fix this by calling tick_program_event() to reprogram the local timer device in this scenario.
