When re-enabling interrupts we have code to handle edge sensitive decrementers by resetting the decrementer to 1 whenever it is negative. If interrupts were disabled long enough that the decrementer wrapped to positive we do nothing. This means interrupts can be delayed for a long time until it finally goes negative again. While we hope interrupts are never be disabled long enough for the decrementer to go positive, we have a very good test team that can drive any kernel into the ground. The softlockup data we get back from these fails could be seconds in the future, completely missing the cause of the lockup. We already keep track of the timebase of the next event so use that to work out if we should trigger a decrementer exception.
