Subject[PATCH 0/8] tick/nohz: Tick dependency quick check + cleanups
Date
Thomas suggested a few month ago to make the tick dependency check
more synchronous. Instead of checking asynchronously from each interrupt
if the tick can be stopped, every subsystem that may have a tick
dependency should set itself a flag specifying the state of that
dependency. This way we can verify if we can stop the tick with a single
lightweight mask check.

This patchset introduces that. There is still room for optimizations.

Also in a further series I would like to piggyback on the scheduler
interrupt to restart the tick in case of remote wakeups. The tick
restart from Irq exit prepares for that.

HEAD: e5470c6cd483edb77d6c8398b3f1479aa0eba215

Thanks,
Frederic
