[PATCH 1/7] ftrace, PPC: do not latency trace idle

2008-11-16 Thread Steven Rostedt
Impact: give better timing to latency tracers 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 go
