[PATCH v4 2/5] nohz: support PR_CPU_ISOLATED_STRICT mode

2015-07-13 Thread Chris Metcalf
With cpu_isolated mode, the task is in principle guaranteed not to be interrupted by the kernel, but only if it behaves. In particular, if it enters the kernel via system call, page fault, or any of a number of other synchronous traps, it may be unexpectedly exposed to long latencies. Add a simple
