[PATCH v16 06/13] task_isolation: userspace hard isolation from kernel

2017-11-03 Thread Chris Metcalf
The existing nohz_full mode is designed as a "soft" isolation mode that makes tradeoffs to minimize userspace interruptions while still attempting to avoid overheads in the kernel entry/exit path, to provide 100% kernel semantics, etc. However, some applications require a "hard" commitment from
