Ingo,

sched/0hz
HEAD: 9e932b2cc707209febd130978a5eb9f4a943a3f4
--
Now that scheduler_tick() has become resilient towards the absence of
ticks, current->sched_class->task_tick() is the last piece that needs
at least 1Hz tick to keep scheduler stats alive.
This patchset adds a flag to the isolcpus boot option to offload the
residual 1Hz tick. This way the nohz_full CPUs don't have anymore tick
(assuming nothing else requires it) as their residual 1Hz tick is
offloaded to the housekeepers.
For quick testing, say on CPUs 1-7:
"isolcpus=nohz_offload,domain,1-7"
Thanks,
Frederic
