Sorry; things keep getting in the way of finishing this :/

As such, I need a bit of time to get on-track again..

I'm not quite sure I see how. AFAICT this condition above implies
acpi_processor_ffh_lpi_enter() gets called, no?

Which in turn is an unconditional __CPU_PM_CPU_IDLE_ENTER() user, so
even if idx==0, it ends up in ct_idle_{enter,exit}().

True.

As per the below?

Yes, if we ensure idx==0 never has RCU_IDLE set then these must be
removed.

So the basic premise is that everything that needs RCU inside the idle
callback must set CPUIDLE_FLAG_RCU_IDLE and by doing that promise to
call ct_idle_{enter,exit}() themselves.

Setting RCU_IDLE is required when there is RCU usage, however even if
there is no RCU usage, setting RCU_IDLE is fine, as long as
ct_idle_{enter,exit}() then get called.


So does the below (delta) look better to you?
