[PATCH 4/6] rcu,nohz: run vtime_user_enter/exit only when state == IN_USER
From: riel
Date: Tue Feb 10 2015 - 09:43:34 EST
From: Rik van Riel <riel@xxxxxxxxxx>
Only run vtime_user_enter, vtime_user_exit, and the user enter & exit
trace points when we are entering or exiting user state, respectively.
The KVM code in guest_enter and guest_exit already take care of calling
vtime_guest_enter and vtime_guest_exit, respectively.
The RCU code only distinguishes between "idle" and "not idle or kernel".
There should be no need to add an additional (unused) state there.
