Subject[RFC PATCH 00/10] nohz: Support sysidle (and some more cleanups)
Date
Currently when nohz full is active, the CPU 0 handles timekeeping on
behalf of all other CPUs. This prevents it from ever entering in dynticks
idle mode.

This patchset uses the RCU sysidle feature to allow that. The CPU 0 can
know safely when to sleep and when to wake up, the sysidle code determines
that and takes care of races along the way.

nohz/sysidle

Thanks,
Frederic

Frederic Weisbecker (10):
irq_work: Introduce void irq work
nohz: Kick full dynticks timer targets with an empty IPI
rcu: Kick full dynticks CPU on extended grace period with a void IRQ
nohz: Appropriate timekeeper kick on sysidle break
smp: Fast path check on IPI list
nohz: Define meaningful symbol for nohz full timekeeper
nohz: Enforce timekeeping on CPU 0
nohz: Fetch timekeeping max deferment only for timekeeper
nohz: Switch nohz full timekeeper to dynticks idle on top of sysidle detection
nohz: Warn on illegal timekeeper switch in nohz full
