[PATCH 1/2] perf symbols: Update the list of kernel idle symbols

From: Kim Phillips
Date: Wed Jan 15 2020 - 17:30:24 EST


"acpi_idle_do_entry", "acpi_processor_ffh_cstate_enter", and "idle_cpu"
appear in 'perf top' output, at least on AMD systems.

Add them to perf's idle_symbols list, so they don't dominate 'perf top'
output.
