As per the (somewhat recent) comment before the definition of `__cpuidle`, the tag is like `noinstr` but also marks a function so it can be identified by cpu_in_idle(). Let's add these markings to arm64 cpuidle functions With this change we get useful backtraces like: NMI backtrace for cpu N skipped: idling at cpu_do_idle+0x94/0x98 instead of useless backtraces when dumping all processors using nmi_cpu_backtrace(). NOTE: this patch won't make cpu_in_idle() work perfectly for arm64, but it doesn't hurt and does catch some cases. Specifically an example that wasn't caught in my testing looked like this: gic_cpu_sys_reg_init+0x1f8/0x314 gic_cpu_pm_notifier+0x40/0x78 raw_notifier_call_chain+0x5c/0x134 cpu_pm_notify+0x38/0x64 cpu_pm_exit+0x20/0x2c psci_enter_idle_state+0x48/0x70 cpuidle_enter_state+0xb8/0x260 cpuidle_enter+0x44/0x5c do_idle+0x188/0x30c Acked-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Reviewed-by: Stephen Boyd <swboyd@chromium.org> Acked-by: Sumit Garg <sumit.garg@linaro.org> Tested-by: Chen-Yu Tsai <wenst@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Douglas Anderson <dianders@chromium.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230906090246.v13.2.I4baba13e220bdd24d11400c67f137c35f07f82c7@changeid Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
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.
