Subject: [PATCH v4 04/11] context_tracking: allow runtime per-CPU user tracking enable/disable
Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2026 11:28:15 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260710-wujing-dhm-v4-4-2e912e5d9645@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260710-wujing-dhm-v4-0-2e912e5d9645@gmail.com>
ct_cpu_track_user() and the context_tracking_key static key are currently
restricted to boot-time use: the key is __ro_after_init and the function
is __init with __initdata state. This prevents enabling nohz_full context
tracking for CPUs isolated at runtime via cpuset partitions.
Split ct_cpu_track_user() into three functions:
ct_cpu_track_user(cpu) - sets per_cpu(context_tracking.active) and
increments context_tracking_key; callable
at runtime with the CPU offline.
ct_cpu_untrack_user(cpu) - reverses the above; for de-isolation.
ct_cpu_track_user_init(cpu) - __init wrapper; calls ct_cpu_track_user()
and handles TIF_NOHZ / tasklist setup.
Change context_tracking_key from DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_FALSE_RO to
DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_FALSE so that static_branch_inc/dec() can be called
after the __ro_after_init window closes.
Update tick_nohz_init() to call ct_cpu_track_user_init() so boot
behaviour is unchanged.
This is a prerequisite for DHM (Dynamic Housekeeping Management) runtime
CPU noise isolation without boot parameters.
