When it happens, the softlockup debug messages are printed in regular intervals defined by get_softlockup_thresh(). There is a mystery. The repeated message is printed after the full interval that is defined by get_softlockup_thresh(). But the timer callback is called more often as defined by sample_period. The code looks like the soflockup should get reported in every sample_period when it was once behind the thresh. It works only by chance. The watchdog is touched when printing the stall report, for example, in printk_stack_address(). Make the behavior clear and predictable by explicitly updating the timestamp in watchdog_timer_fn() when the report gets printed.
