Hi,
from a new log that includes syscall tracing it seems that a thread
waiting in a timerfd is woken, but does not return from the read:
TimerT d.... 3825.943136: sys_read -> 0x8
...
TimerT d.... 3825.943199: sys_read(fd: 6, buf: b7633158, count: 8)

...
There is no return from the read until the RT throttler got activated.
Kernel version 3.4.25-rt37 - I'll check whether anything relevant
has changed since then.
