Support for arch_irq_work_raise() was missing from arm64 (a prerequisite for FULL_NOHZ).
This patch is based on the arm32 patch ARM 7872/1 which ports cleanly.
commit bf18525fd793101df42a1344ecc48b49b62e48c9 Author: Stephen Boyd sboyd@codeaurora.org Date: Tue Oct 29 20:32:56 2013 +0100
ARM: 7872/1: Support arch_irq_work_raise() via self IPIs
By default, IRQ work is run from the tick interrupt (see irq_work_run() in update_process_times()). When we're in full NOHZ mode, restarting the tick requires the use of IRQ work and if the only place we run IRQ work is in the tick interrupt we have an unbreakable cycle. Implement arch_irq_work_raise() via self IPIs to break this cycle and get the tick started again. Note that we implement this via IPIs which are only available on SMP builds. This shouldn't be a problem because full NOHZ is only supported on SMP builds anyway.

Looks fine to me, thanks.

There was a subsequent patch adding is_smp() check here (c682e51dbc98 ARM: 7887/1: Don't smp_cross_call() on UP devices in arch_irq_work_raise()). Don't we need it?

I will look into this. Thanks.
