From 6d07bb47354174a9b52d3b03f9e38b069a93d341 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Rostedt Date: Fri, 14 Nov 2008 16:21:19 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: ftrace, do not latency trace idle Impact: fix for irq off latency tracer When idle is called, interrupts are disabled, but the idle function will still wake up on an interrupt. The problem is that the interrupt disabled latency tracer will take this call to idle as a latency. This patch disables the latency tracing when going into idle.
