I'm sorry to have to bear some bad news on that front. :(

I just had a go at testing this on a Juno dev board, using your queue.git
sched/idle branch and defconfig + CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y +
CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCKDEP=y + CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP=y.

With that I consistently see RCU at boot time (log below).

IIUC what's happenign here is the PSCI cpuidle driver has entered idle and RCU
is no longer watching when arm64's cpu_suspend() manipulates DAIF. Our
local_daif_*() helpers poke lockdep and tracing, hence the call to
trace_hardirqs_off() and the RCU usage.

I think we need RCU to be watching all the way down to cpu_suspend(), and it's
cpu_suspend() that should actually enter/exit idle context. That and we need to
make cpu_suspend() and the low-level PSCI invocation noinstr.

I'm not sure whether 32-bit will have a similar issue or not.

I'm surprised no-one else who has tested has seen this; I suspect people
haven't enabled lockdep and friends. :/

Thanks,
Mark.
