Subject: [PATCH v3 06/13] tick/nohz, context_tracking: Prepare for runtime nohz_full updates
Date: Thu, 18 Jun 2026 11:11:17 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260618-wujing-dhm-v3-6-28f1a4d83b68@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260618-wujing-dhm-v3-0-28f1a4d83b68@gmail.com>

Remove __init from ct_cpu_track_user() and __initdata from the
initialized flag so context tracking can be activated on CPUs that
join nohz_full at runtime.  Drop the __ro_after_init attribute from
the context_tracking_key static key, allowing static_branch_dec()
when a CPU leaves nohz_full.

Add ct_cpu_untrack_user() to reverse ct_cpu_track_user(), decrementing
the static key and clearing the per-CPU tracking state.

Register a housekeeping_cbs for HK_TYPE_KERNEL_NOISE that:
- pre_validate: checks CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL is available.
- apply: snapshots the new HK_TYPE_KERNEL_NOISE mask under an RCU
  read lock (the lockdep annotation in housekeeping_cpumask() requires
  this even after synchronize_rcu() completes), computes nohz_full as
  the complement of the housekeeping mask, then under tick_nohz_lock:
  - Activates context tracking (ct_cpu_track_user()) on CPUs newly
    added to nohz_full, and deactivates it (ct_cpu_untrack_user()) on
    CPUs returning to the housekeeping set.  This activates the
    context_tracking_key static key dynamically, eliminating the
    need for CONFIG_CONTEXT_TRACKING_USER_FORCE.
  - Updates tick_nohz_full_mask in-place (legacy EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL
    snapshot, eventually consistent).
  - Migrates tick_do_timer_cpu if it moved into the isolated set.
  - Kicks all CPUs to re-evaluate tick behaviour.

When CONFIG_CONTEXT_TRACKING_USER_FORCE is enabled and nohz_full= is
given at boot, tick_nohz_init() now calls context_tracking_init()
before iterating over tick_nohz_full_mask to call ct_cpu_track_user().
This ensures the per-CPU tracking state is set up before any CPU is
tracked, which is also required for CPUs later added to nohz_full at
runtime via DHM isolated partitions.
