can you try

echo NO_HRTICK > /debug/sched_features

on .27 like kernels?

Also, what clocksource do those machines use?

cat /sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/current_clocksource

As to, a7be37ac8e1565e00880531f4e2aff421a21c803, could you try
tip/master? I reworked some of the wakeup preemption code in there.

Thanks for looking into this issue!
