Subject: [PATCH 2/7] nohz: New tick dependency mask
The tick dependency is evaluated on every IRQ. This is a batch of checks
which determine whether it is safe to stop the tick or not. These checks
are often split in many details: posix cpu timers, scheduler, sched clock,
perf events. Each of which are made of smaller details: posix cpu
timer involves checking process wide timers then thread wide timers. Perf
involves checking freq events then more per cpu details.
Checking these details asynchronously every time we update the full
dynticks state bring avoidable overhead and a messy layout.
Lets introduce instead tick dependency masks: one for system wide
dependency (unstable sched clock), one for CPU wide dependency (sched,
perf), and task/signal level dependencies. The subsystems are responsible
of setting and clearing their dependency through a set of APIs that will
take care of concurrent dependency mask modifications and kick targets
to restart the relevant CPU tick whenever needed.
This new dependency engine stays beside the old one until all subsystems
having a tick dependency are converted to it.
