While comparing this vs what I have:
- need_resched()
It checked both (tif_need_resched_lazy() || tif_need_resched()) while
now it only looks at tif_need_resched().
Also ensured that raw_irqentry_exit_cond_resched() does not trigger on
lazy.
I guess you can argue both ways what makes sense, just noting…
- __account_cfs_rq_runtime() and hrtick_start_fair()
Both have a resched_curr() instead of resched_curr_lazy(). Is this on
purpose?
This is actually the main difference (ignoring the moving the RT bits
and dynamic-sched). The lazy-resched is slightly different but it should
do the same thing.
I have also tracing and riscv bits which I port tomorrow, test and add
to your pile.
