Subject: [PATCH v2] sched/core: introduce sched_core_idle_cpu()
Date:   Sun, 25 Jun 2023 02:28:15 +0800
Message-Id: <1687631295-126383-1-git-send-email-CruzZhao@linux.alibaba.com>
Precedence: bulk

As core scheduling introduced, a new state of idle is defined as
force idle, running idle task but nr_running greater than zero.

If a cpu is in force idle state, idle_cpu() will return zero. This
result makes sense in certain scenarios, e.g., load balance. but
this will cause error in other scenarios, e.g., tick_irq_exit()
will not change ts->idle_active back to 1 because idle_cpu() returns
0 when force idle.

To solve this problem, we introduce sched_core_idle_cpu(), which
returns 1 when force idle. We audit all users of idle_cpu(), and
change idle_cpu() into sched_core_idle_cpu() in the following
functions:
  - showacpu()
  - rcu_is_rcuc_kthread_starving()
  - tick_irq_exit()

v1-->v2: replace idle_cpu() with sched_core_idle_cpu() in function
showacpu() and rcu_is_rcuc_kthread_starving()
