rcu: add support for dynamic ticks and preempt rcu
The PREEMPT-RCU can get stuck if a CPU goes idle and NO_HZ is set. The idle CPU will not progress the RCU through its grace period and a synchronize_rcu my get stuck. Without this patch I have a box that will not boot when PREEMPT_RCU and NO_HZ are set. That same box boots fine with this patch. This patch comes from the -rt kernel where it has been tested for several months. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.
