Subject: [GIT PULL] NOHZ changes for v4.1
Linus,
Please pull the latest timers-nohz-for-linus git tree from:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git timers-nohz-for-linus
# HEAD: 1524b745406a85ba201cb25df72110c1ccac0f72 Merge branch 'nohz/guest' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/frederic/linux-dynticks into timers/nohz
This tree adds full dynticks support to KVM guests (support the
disabling of the timer tick on the guest): the main missing piece was
the recognition of guest execution as RCU extended quiescent state and
related changes.
Thanks,
Ingo
------------------>
Frederic Weisbecker (2):
ppc: Remove unused cpp symbols in kvm headers
context_tracking: Rename context symbols to prepare for transition state
Rik van Riel (5):
context_tracking: Generalize context tracking APIs to support user and guest
context_tracking: Add stub context_tracking_is_enabled
context_tracking: Run vtime_user_enter/exit only when state == CONTEXT_USER
context_tracking: Export context_tracking_user_enter/exit
kvm,rcu,nohz: use RCU extended quiescent state when running KVM guest
