    nohz: New APIs to re-evaluate the tick on full dynticks CPUs · 76c24fb0
    Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
    Provide two new helpers in order to notify the full dynticks CPUs about
    some internal system changes against which they may reconsider the state
    of their tick. Some practical examples include: posix cpu timers, perf tick
    and sched clock tick.
    
    For now the notifying handler, implemented through IPIs, is a stub
    that will be implemented when we get the tick stop/restart infrastructure
    in.
