Subject: [RFC PATCH] membarrier: handle nohz_full with expedited thread registration
Threads running on nohz_full CPUs are not considered by
synchronize_sched, but they should be covered by a membarrier system
call with MEMBARRIER_CMD_SHARED command.
Introduce two new commands to membarrier:
MEMBARRIER_CMD_REGISTER_EXPEDITED and
MEMBARRIER_CMD_UNREGISTER_EXPEDITED.
No-hz full threads requiring to receive interrupts to ensure correct
memory ordering pairing compiler barriers with membarrier system call
should register as "expedited" threads.
[ This RFC patch lacks documentation. I mainly want feedback to see if
everyone is OK with the general approach. ]
