[PATCH 5.15 07/96] tick/common: Align tick period during sched_timer setup

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

commit 13bb06f8dd42071cb9a49f6e21099eea05d4b856 upstream.

The tick period is aligned very early while the first clock_event_device is
registered. At that point the system runs in periodic mode and switches
later to one-shot mode if possible.

The next wake-up event is programmed based on the aligned value
(tick_next_period) but the delta value, that is used to program the
clock_event_device, is computed based on ktime_get().

With the subtracted offset, the device fires earlier than the exact time
frame. With a large enough offset the system programs the timer for the
next wake-up and the remaining time left is too small to make any boot
progress. The system hangs.

Move the alignment later to the setup of tick_sched timer. At this point
the system switches to oneshot mode and a high resolution clocksource is
available. At this point it is safe to align tick_next_period because
ktime_get() will now return accurate (not jiffies based) time.

[bigeasy: Patch description + testing].

Fixes: e9523a0d81899 ("tick/common: Align tick period with the HZ tick.")
