From b44379af1cf40050794832c38ea6a64e07eb5087 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Fri, 21 Jun 2013 11:08:45 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] nohz_full: Add Kconfig parameter for scalable detection of all-idle state At least one CPU must keep the scheduling-clock tick running for timekeeping purposes whenever there is a non-idle CPU. However, with the new nohz_full adaptive-idle machinery, it is difficult to distinguish between all CPUs really being idle as opposed to all non-idle CPUs being in adaptive-ticks mode. This commit therefore adds a Kconfig parameter as a first step towards enabling a scalable detection of full-system idle state. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
