Subject: [RFC/RFT][PATCH v3 1/6] time: tick-sched: Reorganize idle tick management code
From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@...el.com>
Prepare the scheduler tick code for reworking the idle loop to
avoid stopping the tick in some cases.
Move away the tick_nohz_start_idle() invocation from
__tick_nohz_idle_enter(), rename the latter to
__tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick() and define tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick()
as a wrapper around it for calling it from the outside.
Make tick_nohz_idle_enter() only call tick_nohz_start_idle() instead
of calling the entire __tick_nohz_idle_enter(), add another wrapper
disabling and enabling interrupts around tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick()
and make the current callers of tick_nohz_idle_enter() call it too
to retain their current functionality.
