-Subject: [PATCH] x86, timers: check for pending timers after (device) interrupts
-
-Now that range timers and deferred timers are common, I found a
-problem with these using the "perf timechart" tool.
-
-It turns out that on x86, these two 'opportunistic' timers only
-get checked when another "real" timer happens.
-These opportunistic timers have the objective to save power by
-hitchhiking on other wakeups, as to avoid CPU wakeups by themselves
-as much as possible.
-
-The change in this patch runs this check not only at timer interrupts,
-but at all (device) interrupts. The effect is that
-1) the deferred timers/range timers get delayed less
-2) the range timers cause less wakeups by themselves because
-   the percentage of hitchhiking on existing wakeup events goes up.
-
-I've verified the working of the patch using "perf timechart",
-the original exposed bug is gone with this patch.
