      tick/broadcast: Make idle check independent from mode and config · f32dd117
      Thomas Gleixner authored
      
      
      Currently the broadcast busy check, which prevents the idle code from
      going into deep idle, works only in one shot mode.
      
      If NOHZ and HIGHRES are off (config or command line) there is no
      sanity check at all, so under certain conditions cpus are allowed to
      go into deep idle, where the local timer stops, and are not woken up
      again because there is no broadcast timer installed or a hrtimer based
      broadcast device is not evaluated.
      
      Move tick_broadcast_oneshot_control() into the common code and provide
      proper subfunctions for the various config combinations.
      
      The common check in tick_broadcast_oneshot_control() is for the C3STOP
      misfeature flag of the local clock event device. If its not set, idle
      can proceed. If set, further checks are necessary.
      
      Provide checks for the trivial cases:
      
       - If broadcast is disabled in the config, then return busy
      
       - If oneshot mode (NOHZ/HIGHES) is disabled in the config, return
         busy if the broadcast device is hrtimer based.
      
       - If oneshot mode is enabled in the config call the original
         tick_broadcast_oneshot_control() function. That function needs
         extra checks which will be implemented in seperate patches.

      tick/broadcast: Sanity check the shutdown of the local clock_event · e0454311
      Thomas Gleixner authored
      
      
      The broadcast code shuts down the local clock event unconditionally
      even if no broadcast device is installed or if the broadcast device is
      hrtimer based.
      
      Add proper sanity checks.

      tick/broadcast: Prevent hrtimer recursion · 8eb23126
      Thomas Gleixner authored
      
      
      The hrtimer based broadcast vehicle can cause a hrtimer recursion
      which went unnoticed until we changed the hrtimer expiry code to keep
      track of the currently running timer.
      
      local_timer_interrupt()
        local_handler()
          hrtimer_interrupt()
            expire_hrtimers()
              broadcast_hrtimer()
      	  send_ipis()
      	  local_handler()
      	    hrtimer_interrupt()
      	     ....
      
      Solution is simple: Prevent the local handler call from the broadcast
      code when the broadcast 'device' is hrtimer based.
