[PATCH v2 4/4] nmi_backtrace: generate one-line reports for idle cpus

Chris Metcalf cmetcalf at mellanox.com
Wed Mar 16 10:02:13 PDT 2016


When doing an nmi backtrace of many cores, most of which are idle,
the output is a little overwhelming and very uninformative.  Suppress
messages for cpus that are idling when they are interrupted and just
emit one line, "NMI backtrace for N skipped: idling at pc 0xNNN".

We do this by grouping all the cpuidle code together into a new
.cpuidle.text section, and then checking the address of the
interrupted PC to see if it lies within that section.
