3.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Viresh Kumar viresh.kumar@linaro.org

commit 84ea7fe37908254c3bd90910921f6e1045c1747a upstream.

switch_hrtimer_base() calls hrtimer_check_target() which ensures that we do not migrate a timer to a remote cpu if the timer expires before the current programmed expiry time on that remote cpu.

But __hrtimer_start_range_ns() calls switch_hrtimer_base() before the new expiry time is set. So the sanity check in hrtimer_check_target() is operating on stale or even uninitialized data.

Update expiry time before calling switch_hrtimer_base().

[ tglx: Rewrote changelog once again ]
