The context tracking subsystem has the ability to selectively enable the tracking on any defined subset of CPU. This means that we can define a CPU range that doesn't run the context tracking and another range that does. Now what we want in practice is to enable the tracking on full dynticks CPUs only. In order to perform this, we just need to pass our full dynticks CPU range selection from the full dynticks subsystem to the context tracking. This way we can spare the overhead of RCU user extended quiescent state and vtime maintainance on the CPUs that are outside the full dynticks range. Just keep in mind the raw context tracking itself is still necessary everywhere. Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Paul E.
