Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.10 24/31] tick/sched: Remove bogus boot "safety" check
Date: Wed, 30 Dec 2020 08:03:06 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201230130314.3636961-24-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20201230130314.3636961-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
[ Upstream commit ba8ea8e7dd6e1662e34e730eadfc52aa6816f9dd ]
can_stop_idle_tick() checks whether the do_timer() duty has been taken over
by a CPU on boot. That's silly because the boot CPU always takes over with
the initial clockevent device.
But even if no CPU would have installed a clockevent and taken over the
duty then the question whether the tick on the current CPU can be stopped
or not is moot. In that case the current CPU would have no clockevent
either, so there would be nothing to keep ticking.
Remove it.
