[PATCH 0/9] rcu: Support for lazy callbacks on !CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU

[Frederic Weisbecker <frederic@kernel.org>]

Hi,

Here is a first attempt at providing support for lazy callbacks on
non-offloaded CPUs. I have measured interesting results on my machine
when it is mostly idle (just an idle ssh connection kept alive) with
a gain of +10% idle time. This needs more serious testing though,
especially to make sure that no performance regression is introduced.

Also I have only mildly tested on NOCB (eg: no rcutorture yet), so I
might have broken something.

Finally it's also possible that the idle time improvement is due to me
introducing a bug :)

The patches 1-5 can be considered independently from the rest.

Frederic Weisbecker (9):
  rcu: Assume IRQS disabled from rcu_report_dead()
  rcu: Use rcu_segcblist_segempty() instead of open coding it
  rcu: Rename jiffies_till_flush to jiffies_lazy_flush
  rcu: Introduce lazy queue's own qhimark
  rcu: Add rcutree.lazy_enabled boot parameter
  rcu/nocb: Rename was_alldone to was_pending
  rcu: Implement lazyness on the main segcblist level
  rcu: Make segcblist flags test strict
  rcu: Support lazy callbacks with CONFIG_RCU_NOCB=n
