McKenney" , "Paul E. McKenney" , Paul Mundt , Mike Frysinger , linux-sh@vger.kernel.org From: "Paul E. McKenney" The idle loop is a quiscent state for RCU, which means that RCU ignores CPUs that have told RCU that they are idle via rcu_idle_enter(). There are nevertheless quite a few places where idle CPUs use RCU, most commonly indirectly via tracing. This patch fixes these problems for SH. Many of these bugs have been in the kernel for quite some time, but Frederic's recent change now gives warnings. This patch takes the straightforward approach of pushing the rcu_idle_enter()/rcu_idle_exit() pair further down into the core of the idle loop. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney Signed-off-by: Paul E.
