[IA64] Fix soft lock up caused by xen_timer_interrupt()
This patch intends to fix softlockup caused by xen_timer_interrupt().
This is caused by local_cpu_data->itm_next and stime_irq, itc_at_irq
inconsistency at CPU0 of hypervisor. This patch sets stime_irq and
itc_at_irq every time in xen_timer_interrupt() to avoid this soft
lock up.
In other words, it is caused by competition of local_cpu_data->itm_next
and domain_itm in xen_timer_interrupt() and reprogram_timer() (more
specific vcpu_set_next_timer()).
For example:
1) reprogram_timer() runs and set local_cpu_data->itm_next and set
domain_itm as next itm.
2) xen_timer_interrupt() called but following condition is not satisfied:
while(time_after(ia64_get_itc(), local_cpu_data->itm_next)
This skips stime_irq and itc_at_irq setting.
3) goto 1)
4) sometimes local_cpu_data->itm_next is rollback because
ns_to_cycle()/IA64 is representing almost 32bit.
(This occured at reprogram_timer())
5) It causes soft lock up.
6) Hypervisor returns to work(not hang).
To reproduce this issue, I do following configuration.
1) boot Xen with pcpu=4 and Dom0 with vcpu=4
2) boot domU1 with vcpu with vcpu-pin 0-1
3) boot domU2 with vcpu with vcpu-pin 0-1
4) run yes > /dev/null 2 process on domU1
5) run nothing on domU2(to check softlock up occured or not)
6) run kernel compile with -j4 on Dom0 continuously
7) wait 4 or 8 hours to occur softlockup.
