New one on me! And it does look like that would work, and it also
looks like other code assumes that these architectures have all of their
deep-idle and entry/exit functions either inlined or noinstr-ed, so it
should be OK for Tasks Trace Rude to do likewise. Thank you!!!
If you would like a sneak preview, please see the last few commits on
the "dev" branch of -rcu. And this is easier than my original plan
immortalized (at least temporarily) on the "dev.2024.07.02a" branch.
Things left to do: (1) Rebase fixes into original commits. (2)
Make RCU Tasks stop ignoring idle tasks. (3) Reorder the commits
for bisectability. (4) Make rcutorture test RCU Tasks Rude even when
running on platforms that don't need it. (5) Fix other bugs that I have
not yet spotted.
I expect to post an RFC patch early next week. Unless there is some
emergency, I will slate these for the v6.12 merge window to give them
some soak time.
Thanx, Paul
