This primarily reflects some testing on x86, and a rebase to 4.8. I have been getting email asking me when and where this patch will be upstreamed so folks can start using it. I had been thinking the obvious path was via Frederic Weisbecker to Ingo as a NOHZ kind of thing. But perhaps it touches enough other subsystems that that doesn't really make sense? Andrew, would it make sense to take it directly via your tree? Frederic, Ingo, what do you think? Changes since v13: - Rebased on v4.8-rc1 (and thus uses the standard try_get_task_struct). - Fixes a bug when using the clocksource watchdog; it is now scheduled to run only on the housekeeping cpus [by Christoph Lameter]. - Fixes a bug in x86 syscall_trace_enter() [seen by Francis Giraldeau]. - Includes a selftest. The previous (v13) patch series is here: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/1468529299-27929-1-git-send-email-cmetcalf@mellanox.com This version of the patch series has been tested on arm64 and tilegx, and build-tested on x86 (plus some volunteer testing on x86 by Christoph and Francis). It remains true that the 1 Hz tick needs to be disabled for this patch series to be able to achieve its primary goal of enabling truly tick-free operation, but that is ongoing orthogonal work. Frederic, do you have a sense of what is left to be done there? I can certainly try to contribute to that effort as well.
