This commit applies the "noinstr" tag to the rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit() functions, which are invoked from portions of the idle loop that cannot be instrumented. These tags require reworking the rcu_eqs_enter() and rcu_eqs_exit() functions that these two functions invoke in order to cause them to use normal assertions rather than lockdep. In addition, within rcu_idle_exit(), the raw versions of local_irq_save() and local_irq_restore() are used, again to avoid issues with lockdep in uninstrumented code. This patch is based in part on an earlier patch by Jiri Olsa, discussions with Peter Zijlstra and Frederic Weisbecker, earlier changes by Thomas Gleixner, and off-list discussions with Yonghong Song.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
