[RFC PATCH 0/5] isolation: 1Hz residual tick offloading

[Frederic Weisbecker]

Finally! It has been years since I had to do that but I kept knocking
against prerequisites, mostly about making scheduler_tick() resilient
against the absence of ticks. Now it seems that current->sched_class->task_tick()
is the last piece of it.

This patchset adds a flag to the isolcpus boot option to offload the
residual 1Hz tick.

For quick testing, say on CPUs 1-7:

	"isolcpus=nohz_offload,domain,1-7"

Thanks,
