Frederic Weisbecker 490f561b78 context-tracking: Introduce CONFIG_HAVE_TIF_NOHZ
A few archs (x86, arm, arm64) don't rely anymore on TIF_NOHZ to call
into context tracking on user entry/exit but instead use static keys
(or not) to optimize those calls. Ideally every arch should migrate to
that behaviour in the long run.

Settle a config option to let those archs remove their TIF_NOHZ
definitions.

README

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.
