[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.5 03/58] sched/core: Don't skip remote tick for idle CPUs

From: Sasha Levin
Date: Sat Feb 22 2020 - 21:21:31 EST


From: Scott Wood <swood@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 488603b815a7514c7009e6fc339d74ed4a30f343 ]

This will be used in the next patch to get a loadavg update from
nohz cpus. The delta check is skipped because idle_sched_class
doesn't update se.exec_start.
