sched/isolation: Eliminate NO_HZ_FULL_ALL
Commit 6f1982fedd59 ("sched/isolation: Handle the nohz_full= parameter") broke CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_ALL=y kernels. This breakage is due to the code under CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_ALL failing to invoke the shiny new housekeeping functions. This means that rcutorture scenario TREE04 now emits RCU CPU stall warnings due to the RCU grace-period kthreads not being awakened at a time of their choosing, or perhaps even not at all: [ 27.731422] rcu_bh kthread starved for 21001 jiffies! g18446744073709551369 c18446744073709551368 f0x0 RCU_GP_WAIT_FQS(3) ->state=0x402 ->cpu=3 [ 27.731423] rcu_bh I14936 9 2 0x80080000 [ 27.731435] Call Trace: [ 27.731440] __schedule+0x31a/0x6d0 [ 27.731442] schedule+0x31/0x80 [ 27.731446] schedule_timeout+0x15a/0x320 [ 27.731453] ? call_timer_fn+0x130/0x130 [ 27.731457] rcu_gp_kthread+0x66c/0xea0 [ 27.731458] ? rcu_gp_kthread+0x66c/0xea0 Because no one has complained about CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_ALL=y being broken, I hypothesize that no one is in fact using it, other than rcutorture. This commit therefore eliminates CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_ALL and updates rcutorture's config files to instead use the nohz_full= kernel parameter to put the desired CPUs into nohz_full mode.
