cover NO_HZ_FULL_SYSIDLE updates for v4.1

Hello!

This series contains some fixes for NO_HZ_FULL sysidle:

1. Correctly initialize and set isidle variable.

2. Tighten up affinity and sysidle checks.

Thanx, Paul

PATCH 1/2 rcu: Fixes to NO_HZ_FULL sysidle accounting

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <[email protected]>

On second and subsequent passes through quiescent-state forcing, the isidle variable was initialized to false, which would prevent full sysidle state from being reached if a grace period needed more than one round of quiescent-state forcing (which most should not). However, the check for offline CPUs in the quiescent-state forcing main loop had the wrong sense, which could prevent CPUs from ever entering full sysidle state.

This commit fixes both of these bugs. Given that sysidle is not yet wired up, this has no effect in old kernels, but might have proven frustrating had anyone attempted to wire it up.

PATCH 2/2 rcu: Tighten up affinity and check for sysidle

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <[email protected]>

If the RCU grace-period kthread invoking rcu_sysidle_check_cpu() happens to be running on the tick_do_timer_cpu initially, then rcu_bind_gp_kthread() won't bind it. This kthread might then migrate before invoking rcu_gp_fqs(), which will trigger the WARN_ON_ONCE() in rcu_sysidle_check_cpu(). This commit therefore makes rcu_bind_gp_kthread() do the binding even if the kthread is currently on the same CPU. Because this incurs added overhead, this commit also causes each RCU grace-period kthread to invoke rcu_bind_gp_kthread() once at boot rather than at the beginning of each grace period. And as long as rcu_bind_gp_kthread() is being modified, this commit eliminates its #ifdef.

Hey Paul,

I seem to be hitting this warning:

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <[email protected]>

If the RCU grace-period kthread invoking rcu_sysidle_check_cpu() happens to be running on the tick_do_timer_cpu initially, then rcu_bind_gp_kthread() won't bind it. This kthread might then migrate before invoking rcu_gp_fqs(), which will trigger the WARN_ON_ONCE() in rcu_sysidle_check_cpu(). This commit therefore makes rcu_bind_gp_kthread() do the binding even if the kthread is currently on the same CPU. Because this incurs added overhead, this commit also causes each RCU grace-period kthread to invoke rcu_bind_gp_kthread() once at boot rather than at the beginning of each grace period. And as long as rcu_bind_gp_kthread() is being modified, this commit eliminates its #ifdef.
