Yes it's a requirement for NOHZ_FULL to work. But you make me realize this is tacit and isn't constrained anywhere in the code. I'm going to add HAVE_IRQ_WORK_RAISE and replace the weak definition with a config based. > > Also, can't you do the same thing you did earlier and do that wakeup > thing before we complete exit_to_user_mode_prepare() ? I do it for CONFIG_GENERIC_ENTRY but the other architectures have their own exit to user loop that I would need to audit and make sure that interrupts aren't ever re-enabled before resuming to user and there is no possible rescheduling point. I could manage to handle arm and arm64 but the others scare me: $ git grep HAVE_CONTEXT_TRACKING arch/csky/Kconfig: select HAVE_CONTEXT_TRACKING arch/mips/Kconfig: select HAVE_CONTEXT_TRACKING arch/powerpc/Kconfig: select HAVE_CONTEXT_TRACKING if PPC64 arch/riscv/Kconfig: select HAVE_CONTEXT_TRACKING arch/sparc/Kconfig: select HAVE_CONTEXT_TRACKING :-s
