By unconditionally updating the offsets there are more indicators
whether the SMP function calls on clock_was_set() can be avoided:
- When the offset update already happened on the remote CPU then the
remote update attempt will yield the same seqeuence number and no
IPI is required.
- When the remote CPU is currently handling hrtimer_interrupt(). In
that case the remote CPU will reevaluate the timer bases before
reprogramming anyway, so nothing to do.
- After updating it can be checked whether the first expiring timer in
the affected clock bases moves before the first expiring (softirq)
timer of the CPU. If that's not the case then sending the IPI is not
required.

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.
