The patch titled x86_64: prepare idle loop for dynamic ticks has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was x86_64-prep-idle-loop-for-dynticks.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: x86_64: prepare idle loop for dynamic ticks From: Chris Wright <chrisw@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Add tick_nohz_{stop,restart}_sched_tick to idle loop in prepartion for turning on dynticks. These are just noops until NO_HZ is enabled.
