Currently hrtimer callback functions are always executed in hard interrupt context. Users of hrtimers, which need their timer function to be executed in soft interrupt context, make use of tasklets to get the proper context. Add additional hrtimer clock bases for timers which must expire in softirq context, so the detour via the tasklet can be avoided. This is also required for RT, where the majority of hrtimer is moved into softirq hrtimer context. The selection of the expiry mode happens via a mode bit. Introduce HRTIMER_MODE_SOFT and the matching combinations with the ABS/REL/PINNED bits and update the decoding of hrtimer_mode in tracepoints.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
