May be this, talking about the same commit as cause as this thread:

Subject: Re: [PATCH] timekeeping: Align tick_sched_timer() with the HZ 
tick. -- regression report
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/5a56290d-806e-b9a5-f37c-f21958b5a8c0@grsecurity.net/

May not have been the best idea to respond with such big analysis to a 3 
months old dead thread, gets lost extremely easy.
