nohz: nohz full depends on irq work self IPI support
The nohz full functionality depends on IRQ work to trigger its own interrupts. As it's used to restart the tick, we can't rely on the tick fallback for irq work callbacks, ie: we can't use the tick to restart the tick itself. Lets reject the full dynticks initialization if that arch support isn't available. As a side effect, this makes sure that nohz kick is never called from the tick. That otherwise would result in illegal hrtimer self-cancellation and lockup. Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Cc: Paul E.
