[PATCH RT 09/22] Revert "timer: delay waking softirqs from the jiffy tick"

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Wed Sep 05 2018 - 08:30:26 EST


4.14.63-rt41-rc1 stable review patch.
If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Anna-Maria Gleixner <anna-maria@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit b5b16907c58280e015d5673dca4c6bd3fde0c348 ]

This patch was required as long as RT tasks where accounted to CFS
load but this was only a work around. Upstream Commit 17bdcf949d03
("sched: Drop all load weight manipulation for RT tasks") fixed the
accounting of RT tasks into CFS load.

Remove the patch and fix dependencies.
