[for-next][PATCH 17/18] ftrace/cpuidle/x86: Mark functions that are RCU unsafe

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Wed Sep 04 2013 - 10:41:19 EST


From: "Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Some callbacks of the function tracer use rcu_read_lock(). This means that
there's places that can not be traced because RCU is not tracking the CPU
for various reasons (like NO_HZ_FULL and coming back from userspace).

These functions need to be marked so that callbacks that use RCU do not
trace them.
