Paul E. McKenney 147f04b14a rcu: Prevent expedited GP from enabling tick on offline CPU
If an RCU expedited grace period starts just when a CPU is in the process
of going offline, so that the outgoing CPU has completed its pass through
stop-machine but has not yet completed its final dive into the idle loop,
RCU will attempt to enable that CPU's scheduling-clock tick via a call
to tick_dep_set_cpu().  For this to happen, that CPU has to have been
online when the expedited grace period completed its CPU-selection phase.

This is pointless:  The outgoing CPU has interrupts disabled, so it cannot
take a scheduling-clock tick anyway.  In addition, the tick_dep_set_cpu()
function's eventual call to irq_work_queue_on() will splat as follows:

smpboot: CPU 1 is now offline

This commit therefore avoids invoking tick_dep_set_cpu() on offlined
CPUs to limit both futility and false-positive splats.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
