X-Git-Tag: firefly_0821_release~3680^2~571^2~10^2~8
X-Git-Url: http://demsky.eecs.uci.edu/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=12351ef8f9f2226636b00324d841d9c5069d80bc;p=firefly-linux-kernel-4.4.55.git

perf: Kick full dynticks CPU if events rotation is needed

Kick the current CPU's tick by sending it a self IPI when
an event is queued on the rotation list and it is the first
element inserted. This makes sure that perf_event_task_tick()
works on full dynticks CPUs.
