When the hrtimer_interrupt needs to restart more than 3 times and still has expired timers, the interrupt is considered hung. To give the system a little time to recover, the hardware timer is programmed a little into the future. Prior to commit2889243848("hrtimer: Re-arrange hrtimer_interrupt()"), this was relative to the amount of time spend serving the interrupt with a max of 100 msec. However, in order to simplify, and because this condition 'should' not happen, the timeout was unconditionally set to 100 msec. 'Obviously' there is a benchmark that hits this hard, by programming a ton of very short timers :-/ Since reprogramming is decoupled from the interrupt handling, the actual execution time is lost, however the code does track max_hang_time. Using that, rather than the 100 ms max restores performance. stress-ng --timeout 60 --times --verify --metrics --no-rand-seed --timermix 64 bogo ops/s 288924384856^1: 23715979.932889243848: 11550049.77 patched: 23361116.78 Additionally, Thomas noted that cpu_base->hang_detected should not be cleared until the next interrupt, such that __hrtimer_reprogram() won't undo the extra delay.
