[PATCH 0/4] initial NOHZ_FULL support for tile

[cmetcalf]

From: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@xxxxxxxxxx>

These changes are the necessary minimum to make the tile architecture
work relatively well with NOHZ_FULL.  The tile architecture has had
out-of-tree support since 2008 for a DATAPLANE mode that provided
similar functionality (called Zero-Overhead Linux in our marketing
materials); we are now in the process of layering that on top of the
community NOHZ_FULL to upstream it.

Chris Metcalf (4):
  tile: support arch_irq_work_raise
  tile: support CONTEXT_TRACKING and thus NOHZ_FULL
  nohz: add tick_nohz_full_clear_cpus() API
  net: tile: don't send interrupts to nohz cores by default
