hrtimer: Introduce HARD expiry mode
On PREEMPT_RT not all hrtimers can be expired in hard interrupt context even if that is perfectly fine on a PREEMPT_RT=n kernel, e.g. because they take regular spinlocks. Also for latency reasons PREEMPT_RT tries to defer most hrtimers' expiry into soft interrupt context. But there are hrtimers which must be expired in hard interrupt context even when PREEMPT_RT is enabled: - hrtimers which must expiry in hard interrupt context, e.g. scheduler, perf, watchdog related hrtimers - latency critical hrtimers, e.g. nanosleep, ..., kvm lapic timer Add a new mode flag HRTIMER_MODE_HARD which allows to mark these timers so PREEMPT_RT will not move them into softirq expiry mode.
