From 433cdddcd9ac5558068edd7f8d4707a70f7710f5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Tue, 22 Nov 2011 14:58:03 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] rcu: Add tracing for RCU_FAST_NO_HZ This commit adds trace_rcu_prep_idle(), which is invoked from rcu_prepare_for_idle() and rcu_wake_cpu() to trace attempts on the part of RCU to force CPUs into dyntick-idle mode.
