The hrtimer interrupt expires timers and at the end of the interrupt it rearms the clockevent device for the next expiring timer. That's obviously correct, but in the case that a expired timer sets NEED_RESCHED the return from interrupt ends up in schedule(). If HRTICK is enabled then schedule() will modify the hrtick timer, which causes another reprogramming of the hardware. That can be avoided by deferring the rearming to the return from interrupt path and if the return results in a immediate schedule() invocation then it can be deferred until the end of schedule(), which avoids multiple rearms and re-evaluation of the timer wheel. As this is only relevant for interrupt to user return split the work masks up and hand them in as arguments from the relevant exit to user functions, which allows the compiler to optimize the deferred handling out for the syscall exit to user case. Add the rearm checks to the approritate places in the exit to user loop and the interrupt return to kernel path, so that the rearming is always guaranteed. In the return to user space path this is handled in the same way as TIF_RSEQ to avoid extra instructions in the fast path, which are truly hurtful for device interrupt heavy work loads as the extra instructions and conditionals while benign at first sight accumulate quickly into measurable regressions. The return from syscall path is completely unaffected due to the above mentioned split so syscall heavy workloads wont have any extra burden. For now this is just placing empty stubs at the right places which are all optimized out by the compiler until the actual functionality is in place.
