Subject: [PATCH 4/5] sched/isolation: Residual 1Hz scheduler tick offload
When a CPU runs in full dynticks mode, a 1Hz tick remains in order to
keep the scheduler stats alive. However this residual tick is a burden
for bare metal tasks that can't stand no interruption at all, or want
to minimize them.
Adding the boot parameter "isolcpus=nohz_offload" will now outsource
these scheduler ticks to the global workqueue so that a housekeeping CPU
handles that tick remotely.
Note it's still up to the user to affine the global workqueues to the
housekeeping CPUs through /sys/devices/virtual/workqueue/cpumask or
domains isolation.
