[PATCH 30/30] osnoise: handle quiescent states for PREEMPT_RCU=n, PREEMPTION=y

From: Ankur Arora
Date: Tue Feb 13 2024 - 01:05:19 EST


To reduce RCU noise for nohz_full configurations, osnoise depends
on cond_resched() providing quiescent states for PREEMPT_RCU=n
configurations. And, for PREEMPT_RCU=y configurations does this
by directly calling rcu_momentary_dyntick_idle().

With PREEMPT_AUTO=y, however, we can have configurations with
(PREEMPTION=y, PREEMPT_RCU=n), which means neither of the above can
help.

Handle that by fallback to the explicit quiescent states via
rcu_momentary_dyntick_idle().
