tick/broadcast: Handle spurious interrupts gracefully
Andriy reported that on a virtual machine the warning about negative expiry time in the clock events programming code triggered: hpet: hpet0 irq 40 for MSI hpet: hpet1 irq 41 for MSI Switching to clocksource hpet WARNING: at kernel/time/clockevents.c:239 [<ffffffff810ce6eb>] clockevents_program_event+0xdb/0xf0 [<ffffffff810cf211>] tick_handle_periodic_broadcast+0x41/0x50 [<ffffffff81016525>] timer_interrupt+0x15/0x20 When the second hpet is installed as a per cpu timer the broadcast event is not longer required and stopped, which sets the next_evt of the broadcast device to KTIME_MAX. If after that a spurious interrupt happens on the broadcast device, then the current code blindly handles it and tries to reprogram the broadcast device afterwards, which adds the period to next_evt. KTIME_MAX + period results in a negative expiry value causing the WARN_ON in the clockevents code to trigger. Add a proper check for the state of the broadcast device into the interrupt handler and return if the interrupt is spurious.
