From 5811d9963e26146898a24b535b301f7654257f8a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frederic Weisbecker Date: Sat, 20 Apr 2013 16:40:31 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] nohz: Prepare to stop the tick on irq exit Interrupt exit is a natural place to stop the tick: it happens after all events happening before and during the irq which are liable to update the dependency on the tick occured. Also it makes sure that any check on tick dependency is well ordered against dynticks kick IPIs. Bring in the infrastructure that performs the tick dependency checks on irq exit and shut it down if these checks show that we can do it safely.
