tick: Fix timer storm since introduction of timersd
BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2060704 If timers are pending while the tick is reprogrammed on nohz_mode, the next expiry is not armed to fire now, it is delayed one jiffy forward instead so as not to raise an inextinguishable timer storm with such scenario: 1) IRQ triggers and queue a timer 2) ksoftirqd() is woken up 3) IRQ tail: timer is reprogrammed to fire now 4) IRQ exit 5) TIMER interrupt 6) goto 3) ...all that until we finally reach ksoftirqd. Unfortunately we are checking the wrong softirq vector bitmask since timersd kthread has split from ksoftirqd. Timers now have their own vector state field that must be checked separately. As a result, the old timer storm is back. This shows up early on boot with extremely long initcalls: [ 333.004807] initcall dquot_init+0x0/0x111 returned 0 after 323822879 usecs and the cause is uncovered with the right trace events showing just 10 microseconds between ticks (~100 000 Hz): |swapper/-1 1dn.h111 60818582us : hrtimer_expire_entry: hrtimer=00000000e0ef0f6b function=tick_sched_timer now=60415486608 |swapper/-1 1dn.h111 60818592us : hrtimer_expire_entry: hrtimer=00000000e0ef0f6b function=tick_sched_timer now=60415496082 |swapper/-1 1dn.h111 60818601us : hrtimer_expire_entry: hrtimer=00000000e0ef0f6b function=tick_sched_timer now=60415505550 Fix this by checking the right timer vector state from the nohz code.
