[GIT PULL] isolation: 1Hz residual tick offloading v3

[Frederic Weisbecker]

Ingo,

Please pull the sched/0hz branch that can be found at:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/frederic/linux-dynticks.git
	sched/0hz

HEAD: 9e932b2cc707209febd130978a5eb9f4a943a3f4

Now that scheduler_tick() has become resilient towards the absence of
ticks, current->sched_class->task_tick() is the last piece that needs
at least 1Hz tick to keep scheduler stats alive.

This patchset adds a flag to the isolcpus boot option to offload the
residual 1Hz tick. This way the nohz_full CPUs don't have anymore tick
(assuming nothing else requires it) as their residual 1Hz tick is
offloaded to the housekeepers.

For quick testing, say on CPUs 1-7:

	"isolcpus=nohz_offload,domain,1-7"

Thanks,
	Frederic
