[PATCH tip/core/rcu 04/19] rcu: Update cpu_needs_another_gp() for futures from non-NOCB CPUs

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Mon Apr 28 2014 - 20:03:33 EST


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

In the old days, the only source of requests for future grace periods
was NOCB CPUs. This has changed: CPUs routinely post requests for
future grace periods in order to promote power efficiency and reduce
OS jitter with minimal impact on grace-period latency. This commit
therefore updates cpu_needs_another_gp() to invoke rcu_future_needs_gp()
instead of rcu_nocb_needs_gp(). The latter is no longer used, so is
now removed. This commit also adds tracing for the irq_work_queue()
wakeup case.
