The hrtimer_sleeper callback is RT compatible in hard interrupt context, but there is a latency concern: Untrusted userspace can spawn many threads which arm timers for the same expiry time on the same CPU. On expiry that causes a latency spike due to the wakeup of a gazillion threads. OTOH, priviledged real-time user space applications rely on the low latency of hard interrupt wakeups. These syscall related wakeups are all based on hrtimer sleepers. If the current task is in a real-time scheduling class, mark the mode for hard interrupt expiry.
