Agreed, using a new perf tool, say built from the tarballs made
available at:
https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/tools/perf/v7.0.0/perf-7.0.0-rc1.tar.xz
(I will not make a rc2 available since there are no changes to the
tools/perf codebase in this rc).
On older kernels should still ignore those functions.
A suggestion for work in this area instead is to get those samples into
a special bucket, the "idle" one, and show it at some place in the
screen.
Thanks,
- Arnaldo
