Hello. Under unknown condition, clock starts counting up too quickly which is enough to confuse hangcheck timer to print stall warning.
I don't know the condition but it seems that "[sched_delayed] sched: RT throttling activated" message is printed when time jump starts and the CPU usage is high (running my testing program). Below are examples which happened within a few minutes despite the timestamp field of the log.
