[ Upstream commit 156ec6f42b8d300dbbf382738ff35c8bad8f4c3a ]
Hung tasks and RCU stall cases were reported on systems which were not 100% busy. Investigation of such unexpected cases (no sign of potential starvation caused by tasks hogging the system) pointed out that the periodic sched tick timer wasn't serviced anymore after a certain point and that caused all machinery that depends on it (timers, RCU, etc.) to stop working as well. This issues was however only reproducible if HRTICK was enabled.
Looking at core dumps it was found that the rbtree of the hrtimer base used also for the hrtick was corrupted (i.e. next as seen from the base root and actual leftmost obtained by traversing the tree are different). Same base is also used for periodic tick hrtimer, which might get "lost" if the rbtree gets corrupted.
Much alike what described in commit 1f71addd34f4c ("tick/sched: Do not mess with an enqueued hrtimer") there is a race window between hrtimer_set_expires() in hrtick_start and hrtimer_start_expires() in __hrtick_restart() in which the former might be operating on an already queued hrtick hrtimer, which might lead to corruption of the base.
Use hrtick_start() (which removes the timer before enqueuing it back) to ensure hrtick hrtimer reprogramming is entirely guarded by the base lock, so that no race conditions can occur.
