When testing softirq based hrtimers on an ARM32 board, with high resolution
mode and NOHZ inactive, softirq based hrtimers fail to expire after being
moved away from an offline CPU:
CPU0 CPU1
hrtimer_start(..., HRTIMER_MODE_SOFT);
cpu_down(CPU1) ...
hrtimers_cpu_dying()
// Migrate timers to CPU0
smp_call_function_single(CPU0, returgger_next_event);
retrigger_next_event()
if (!highres && !nohz)
return;
As retrigger_next_event() is a NOOP when both high resolution timers and
NOHZ are inactive CPU0's hrtimer_cpu_base::softirq_expires_next is not
updated and the migrated softirq timers never expire unless there is a
softirq based hrtimer queued on CPU0 later.
Fix this by removing the hrtimer_hres_active() and tick_nohz_active() check
in retrigger_next_event(), which enforces a full update of the CPU base.
As this is not a fast path the extra cost does not matter.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
