If the local cpu timer stops in deep idle, we arm the broadcast device and get woken by an IPI. Now when we return from deep idle we reenable the local cpu timer unconditionally before handling the IPI. But that's a pointless exercise: the timer is already expired and the IPI is on the way. And it's an expensive exercise as we use the forced reprogramming mode so that we do not lose a timer event. This forced reprogramming will loop at least once in the retry. To avoid this reprogramming, we mark the cpu in a pending bit mask before we send the IPI. Now when the IPI target cpu wakes up, it will see the pending bit set and skip the reprogramming. The reprogramming of the cpu local timer will happen in the IPI handler which runs the cpu local timer interrupt function.
