timers: /proc/sys sysctl hook to enable timer migration
* Arun R Bharadwaj <arun@linux.vnet.ibm.com> [2009-04-16 12:11:36]: This patch creates the /proc/sys sysctl interface at /proc/sys/kernel/timer_migration Timer migration is enabled by default. To disable timer migration, when CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG = y, echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/timer_migration Signed-off-by: Arun R Bharadwaj <arun@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
