If we're executing this just as the target CPU is about to enter userspace, we're going to be in racy territory anyway. Regardless, I'm happy to do that change.

Right, it's only about narrowing down the race window. It probably don't matter in practice, but it's one less thing to consider for the brain :-) Also, why bothering with handling CONTEXT_IDLE? Thanks.

I just swept them under the rug and didn't mention them :D Also looking at the config dependencies again I got it wrong, but nevertheless that means I get to ramble about it. With NO_HZ_IDLE, we get CONTEXT_TRACKING_IDLE, so we get these transitions: ct_idle_enter() ct_kernel_exit() ct_state_inc_clear_work() ct_idle_exit() ct_kernel_enter() ct_work_flush() Now, if we just make CONTEXT_TRACKING_WORK depend on CONTEXT_TRACKING_IDLE rather than CONTEXT_TRACKING_USER, we get to leverage the IPI deferral for NO_HZ_IDLE kernels - in other words, we get to keep idle CPUs idle longer. It's a completely different argument than reducing interference for NOHZ_FULL userspace applications and I should have at the very least mentioned it in the cover letter, but it's the exact same backing mechanism. Looking at it again, I'll probably make the CONTEXT_IDLE thing a separate patch with a proper changelog.

Ok should that be a seperate Kconfig? This indeed can bring power improvement but at the cost of more overhead from the sender. A balance to be measured...

smp_call_function() & friends have the unfortunate habit of sending IPIs to isolated, NOHZ_FULL, in-userspace CPUs, as they blindly target all online CPUs. Some callsites can be bent into doing the right, such as done by commit: cc9e303c91f5 ("x86/cpu: Disable frequency requests via aperfmperf IPI for nohz_full CPUs") Unfortunately, not all SMP callbacks can be omitted in this fashion. However, some of them only affect execution in kernelspace, which means they don't have to be executed *immediately* if the target CPU is in userspace: stashing the callback and executing it upon the next kernel entry would suffice. x86 kernel instruction patching or kernel TLB invalidation are prime examples of it. Reduce the RCU dynticks counter width to free up some bits to be used as a deferred callback bitmask. Add some build-time checks to validate that setup. Presence of CONTEXT_KERNEL in the ct_state prevents queuing deferred work. Later commits introduce the bit:callback mappings.
