No, when a single task is running on a full dynticks CPU, the tick is supposed to run every seconds. I'm actually suprised it doesn't happen in your traces, did you tweak something specific?
Why do we need this 1 second tick currently? And what will happen if I hotunplug that CPU and get it back? Would the timer for tick move away from CPU in question? I see that when I have changed this 1sec stuff to 300 seconds. But what would be impact of that? Will things still work normally?
