Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/64: irq_work avoid immediate interrupt when raised with hard irqs enabled
Date: Fri,  6 Apr 2018 00:31:46 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180405143146.4285-1-npiggin@gmail.com> (raw)

irq_work_raise should not schedule the hardware decrementer interrupt
unless it is called from NMI context. Doing so often just results in an
immediate masked decrementer interrupt:

   <...>-550    90d...    4us : update_curr_rt <-dequeue_task_rt
   <...>-550    90d...    5us : dbs_update_util_handler <-update_curr_rt
   <...>-550    90d...    6us : arch_irq_work_raise <-irq_work_queue
   <...>-550    90d...    7us : soft_nmi_interrupt <-soft_nmi_common
   <...>-550    90d...    7us : printk_nmi_enter <-soft_nmi_interrupt
   <...>-550    90d.Z.    8us : rcu_nmi_enter <-soft_nmi_interrupt
   <...>-550    90d.Z.    9us : rcu_nmi_exit <-soft_nmi_interrupt
   <...>-550    90d...    9us : printk_nmi_exit <-soft_nmi_interrupt
   <...>-550    90d...   10us : cpuacct_charge <-update_curr_rt

Set the decrementer pending in the irq_happened mask directly, rather
than having the masked decrementer handler do it.
