    rcu: Bind RCU grace-period kthreads if NO_HZ_FULL · 5057f55e
    Paul E. McKenney authored
    Currently, RCU binds the grace-period kthreads to the timekeeping
    CPU only if CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_SYSIDLE=y.  This means that these
    kthreads must be bound manually when CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_SYSIDLE=n and
    CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y: Otherwise, these kthreads will induce OS jitter on
    random CPUs.  Given that we are trying to reduce the amount of manual
    tweaking required to make CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y work nicely, this commit
    makes this binding happen when CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y, even in cases where
    CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_SYSIDLE=n.
