[PATCH 32/36] ftrace: WARN on rcuidle

Thu Jun 9 00:27:55 AEST 2022


CONFIG_GENERIC_ENTRY disallows any and all tracing when RCU isn't
enabled.

XXX if s390 (the only other GENERIC_ENTRY user as of this writing)
isn't comfortable with this, we could switch to
HAVE_NOINSTR_VALIDATION which is x86_64 only atm.
