hrtimer: Prevent all reprogramming if hang detected
commit 6c6c0d5a1c949d2e084706f9e5fb1fccc175b265 upstream. If the last hrtimer interrupt detected a hang it sets hang_detected=1 and programs the clock event device with a delay to let the system make progress. If hang_detected == 1, we prevent reprogramming of the clock event device in hrtimer_reprogram() but not in hrtimer_force_reprogram(). This can lead to the following situation: hrtimer_interrupt() hang_detected = 1; program ce device to Xms from now (hang delay) We have two timers pending: T1 expires 50ms from now T2 expires 5s from now Now T1 gets canceled, which causes hrtimer_force_reprogram() to be invoked, which in turn programs the clock event device to T2 (5 seconds from now). Any hrtimer_start after that will not reprogram the hardware due to hang_detected still being set. So we effectivly block all timers until the T2 event fires and cleans up the hang situation. Add a check for hang_detected to hrtimer_force_reprogram() which prevents the reprogramming of the hang delay in the hardware timer. The subsequent hrtimer_interrupt will resolve all outstanding issues.
