handle_percpu_devid_fasteoi_ipi() states: * The biggest difference with the IRQ version is that the interrupt is * EOIed early, as the IPI could result in a context switch, and we need to * make sure the IPI can fire again All that can actually happen scheduler-wise within the handling of an IPI is the raising of TIF_NEED_RESCHED (and / or folding thereof into preempt_count); see scheduler_ipi() or sched_ttwu_pending() for instance. Said flag / preempt_count is evaluated some time later before returning to whatever context was interrupted, and this gates a call to preempt_schedule_irq() (arm64_preempt_schedule_irq() in arm64). Per the above, SGI's do not need a different handler than PPI's, so make them use the same (handle_percpu_devid_irq).

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.
