To minimize latency, PREEMPT_RT kernels expires hrtimers in preemptible softirq context by default. This can be overriden by marking the timer's expiry with HRTIMER_MODE_HARD. sched_clock_timer is missing this annotation: if its callback is preempted and the duration of the preemption exceeds the wrap around time of the underlying clocksource, sched clock will get out of sync. Mark the sched_clock_timer for expiry in hard interrupt context. Signed-off-by: Ahmed S.

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 Restructured Text 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.
