From fea559f303567e558bfab9c8ba4a2af5b309205a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Clarke Date: Fri, 20 Feb 2015 11:13:33 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: Re-enable dynticks Implement arch_irq_work_has_interrupt() for powerpc Commit 9b01f5bf3 introduced a dependency on "IRQ work self-IPIs" for full dynamic ticks to be enabled, by expecting architectures to implement a suitable arch_irq_work_has_interrupt() routine. Several arches have implemented this routine, including x86 (3010279f) and arm (09f6edd4), but powerpc was omitted. This patch implements this routine for powerpc. The symptom, at boot (on powerpc systems) with "nohz_full=" is displayed: NO_HZ: Can't run full dynticks because arch doesn't support irq work self-IPIs after this patch: NO_HZ: Full dynticks CPUs: . Tested against 3.19. powerpc implements "IRQ work self-IPIs" by setting the decrementer to 1 in arch_irq_work_raise(), which causes a decrementer exception on the next timebase tick. We then handle the work in __timer_interrupt(). CC: Frederic Weisbecker Signed-off-by: Paul A. Clarke Reviewed-by: Paul E.
