[PATCH RFC nohz_full v2 2/7] nohz_full: Add rcu_dyntick data for scalable detection of all-idle state

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Fri Jun 28 2013 - 16:11:33 EST


From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This commit adds fields to the rcu_dyntick structure that are used to
detect idle CPUs. These new fields differ from the existing ones in
that the existing ones consider a CPU executing in user mode to be idle,
where the new ones consider CPUs executing in user mode to be busy.
The handling of these new fields is otherwise quite similar to that for
the exiting fields. This commit also adds the initialization required
for these fields.
