Subject: [PATCH v3 2/5] rcu/tree: Add better tracing for dyntick-idle
Date:   Mon,  4 May 2020 08:05:02 -0400
Message-Id: <20200504120505.89351-3-joel@joelfernandes.org>

The dyntick-idle traces are a bit confusing. This patch makes it simpler
and adds some missing cases such as EQS-enter due to user vs idle mode.

Following are the changes:
(1) Add a new context field to trace_rcu_dyntick tracepoint. This
    context field can be "USER", "IDLE" or "IRQ".

(2) Remove the "++=" and "--=" strings and replace them with
   "StillNonIdle". This is much easier on the eyes, and the -- and ++
   are easily apparent in the dynticks_nesting counters we are printing
   anyway.
