rsp rip Function (args)
======================= <nmi>
0xffff810257822fd8 0xffffffff803a0e94 rt_check_expire+0x8c
======================= <interrupt>
0xffff81025781fee8 0xffffffff803a0e08 rt_check_expire
0xffff81025781ff08 0xffffffff802386b3 run_timer_softirq+0x133
0xffff81025781ff38 0xffffffff80235262 __do_softirq+0x5e
