This patch series allows the watchdog to run by default only on the housekeeping cores when nohz_full is in effect; this seems to be a good compromise short of turning it off completely (since the nohz_full cores can't tolerate a watchdog). To provide customizability, we add /proc/sys/kernel/watchdog_cpumask so that the set of cores running the watchdog can be tuned to different values after bootup. To implement this customizability, we add a new smpboot_update_cpumask_percpu_thread() API to the smpboot_thread subsystem that lets us park or unpark "unwanted" threads. And now that threads can be parked for long periods of time, we tweak the /proc/<pid>/stat and /proc/<pid>/status code so parked threads aren't reported as running, which is otherwise confusing. This patch (of 3): This change allows some cores to be excluded from running the smp_hotplug_thread tasks. The following commit to update kernel/watchdog.c to use this functionality is the motivating example, and more information on the motivation is provided there. A new smp_hotplug_thread field is introduced, "cpumask", which is cpumask field managed by the smpboot subsystem that indicates whether or not the given smp_hotplug_thread should run on that core; the cpumask is checked when deciding whether to unpark the thread. To limit the cpumask to less than cpu_possible, you must call smpboot_update_cpumask_percpu_thread() after registering.
