As core scheduling introduced, a new state of idle is defined as force idle, running idle task but nr_running greater than zero. If a cpu is in force idle state, idle_cpu() will return zero. This result makes sense in some scenarios, e.g., load balance, showacpu when dumping, and judge the RCU boost kthread is starving. But this will cause error in other scenarios, e.g., tick_irq_exit(): When force idle, rq->curr == rq->idle but rq->nr_running > 0, results that idle_cpu() returns 0. In function tick_irq_exit(), if idle_cpu() is 0, tick_nohz_irq_exit() will not be called, and ts->idle_active will not become 1, which became 0 in tick_nohz_irq_enter(). ts->idle_sleeptime won't update in function update_ts_time_stats(), if ts->idle_active is 0, which should be 1. And this bug will result that ts->idle_sleeptime is less than the actual value, and finally will result that the idle time in /proc/stat is less than the actual value. To solve this problem, we introduce sched_core_idle_cpu(), which returns 1 when force idle. We audit all users of idle_cpu(), and change idle_cpu() into sched_core_idle_cpu() in function tick_irq_exit(). v2-->v3: Only replace idle_cpu() with sched_core_idle_cpu() in function tick_irq_exit(). And modify the corresponding commit log.

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.
