Revision b9a7b8831600afc51c9ba52c05f12db2266f01c7 authored by Valentin Schneider on 11 February 2019, 17:59:46 UTC, committed by Ingo Molnar on 19 March 2019, 11:06:15 UTC
The LLC NOHZ condition will become true as soon as >=2 CPUs in a single LLC domain are busy. On big.LITTLE systems, this translates to two or more CPUs of a "cluster" (big or LITTLE) being busy. Issuing a NOHZ kick in these conditions isn't desired for asymmetric systems, as if the busy CPUs can provide enough compute capacity to the running tasks, then we can leave the NOHZ CPUs in peace. Skip the LLC NOHZ condition for asymmetric systems, and rely on nr_running & capacity checks to trigger NOHZ kicks when the system actually needs them.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
