tickless kernel

1. Timer

To use tick less kernel, the kernel needs one shot timer hardware supports. After timer_event_source being initiated, the timer handler will be switched to one shot handler, this is done in softirq context. The call trace looks like:

tick_check_oneshot_change

    tick_nohz_switch_to_nohz

        ---->tick_nohz_handler

            ---->tick_sched_do_timer

            ---->tick_sched_handle

                 ---->update_process_times

                             ---->run_local_timers

                             ---->scheduler_tick

                             ---->run_posix_cpu_timers
