McKenney" RCU, RCU-bh, and RCU-sched read-side critical sections are forbidden in the inner idle loop, that is, between the rcu_idle_enter() and the rcu_idle_exit() -- RCU will happily ignore any such read-side critical sections. However, things like powertop need tracepoints in the inner idle loop. This commit therefore provides an RCU_NONIDLE() macro that can be used to wrap code in the idle loop that requires RCU read-side critical sections. Suggested-by: Steven Rostedt Signed-off-by: Paul E.
