Merge tag 'timers-nohz-2021-06-28' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull timers/nohz updates from Ingo Molnar: - Micro-optimize tick_nohz_full_cpu() - Optimize idle exit tick restarts to be less eager - Optimize tick_nohz_dep_set_task() to only wake up a single CPU. This reduces IPIs and interruptions on nohz_full CPUs. - Optimize tick_nohz_dep_set_signal() in a similar fashion. - Skip IPIs in tick_nohz_kick_task() when trying to kick a non-running task. - Micro-optimize tick_nohz_task_switch() IRQ flags handling to reduce context switching costs. - Misc cleanups and fixes * tag 'timers-nohz-2021-06-28' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: MAINTAINERS: Add myself as context tracking maintainer tick/nohz: Call tick_nohz_task_switch() with interrupts disabled tick/nohz: Kick only _queued_ task whose tick dependency is updated tick/nohz: Change signal tick dependency to wake up CPUs of member tasks tick/nohz: Only wake up a single target cpu when kicking a task tick/nohz: Update nohz_full Kconfig help tick/nohz: Update idle_exittime on actual idle exit tick/nohz: Remove superflous check for CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_NATIVE tick/nohz: Conditionally restart tick on idle exit tick/nohz: Evaluate the CPU expression after the static key
