[PATCH v4 2/2] sched: consider missed ticks in full NOHZ

From: byungchul.park
Date: Wed Oct 14 2015 - 05:48:38 EST


From: Byungchul Park <byungchul.park@xxxxxxx>

Even though the cpu is non-idle when its tick is stoped in full NOHZ,
current "update_cpu_load" code considers as if the cpu has been idle
unconditionally. It's wrong. This patch makes the "update_cpu_load"
code know if the calling path comes from full NOHZ or idle NOHZ.
