Subject: [patch V4 0/2] smp: Make softirq handling RT friendly

The invocation of do_softirq() in flush_smp_call_function_from_idle()
breaks on RT because RT does not provide do_softirq().

Aside of that flush_smp_call_function_from_idle() is a misnomer since the
function is invoked not only from idle, but also from the scheduler
migration thread.

The following series addresses this. Changes vs. V3, which can be found
here: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected]

- Rename flush_smp_call_function_from_idle() and add comments

- Confine the RT specifics in the softirq code

Thanks,
