Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/5] printk: Make it usable on nohz CPUs

Hi,

So here is a proposition on what we can do to make printk
correctly working on a tickless CPU.

Although it's targeted to be part of the adaptive tickmess
implemetation, it's pretty standalone and generic and also
works for printk() calls in idle.

It is based on latest linus tree.

Waiting for your comments.

Thanks.

PS: only built-tested for now.

Frederic Weisbecker (5):
  irq_work: Move irq_work_raise() declaration/default definition to
    arch headers
  irq_work: Only run irq_work from tick if arch needs it
  x86: Implement arch_irq_work_use_tick
  nohz: Add API to check tick state
  printk: Wake up klogd with irq_work on nohz CPU
