Viresh Kumar 8ba1465428 timer: Spare IPI when deferrable timer is queued on idle remote targets ... When a timer is enqueued or modified on a remote target, the latter is expected to see and handle this timer on its next tick. However if the target is idle and CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE=y, the CPU may be sleeping tickless and the timer may be ignored. wake_up_nohz_cpu() takes care of that by setting TIF_NEED_RESCHED and sending an IPI to idle targets so that the tick is reevaluated on the idle loop through the tick_nohz_idle_*() APIs. Now this is all performed regardless of the power properties of the timer. If the timer is deferrable, idle targets don't need to be woken up. Only the next buzy tick needs to care about it, and no IPI kick is needed for that to happen. So lets spare the IPI on idle targets when the timer is deferrable. Meanwhile we keep the current behaviour on full dynticks targets. We can spare IPIs on idle full dynticks targets as well but some tricky races against idle_cpu() must be dealt all along to make sure that the timer is well handled after idle exit. We can deal with that later since NO_HZ_FULL already has more important powersaving issues.
