Subject[PATCH] trace: stop critical timings before idle loop on idle=poll
Message-ID<qhogF-3ew-3@gated-at.bofh.it>
When using idle=poll, the preemptoff tracer is always showing the idle
task as the culprit for long latencies. That happens because critical
timings are not stopped before idle loop. This patch stops critical
timings before entering the idle loop, starting it again after the
idle loop.

This problem does not affect the irqsoff tracer because interruptions
are enabled before entering the idle loop.

sched, tracing: Stop/start critical timings around the idle=poll idle loop

When using idle=poll, the preemptoff tracer is always showing
the idle task as the culprit for long latencies. That happens
because critical timings are not stopped before idle loop. This
patch stops critical timings before entering the idle loop,
starting it again after the idle loop.

This problem does not affect the irqsoff tracer because
interruptions are enabled before entering the idle loop.
