Subject: [PATCH -tip 19/32] entry/idle: Enter and exit kernel protection during idle entry and exit
Date:   Tue, 17 Nov 2020 18:19:49 -0500
Message-Id: <20201117232003.3580179-20-joel@joelfernandes.org>
In-Reply-To: <20201117232003.3580179-1-joel@joelfernandes.org>
References: <20201117232003.3580179-1-joel@joelfernandes.org>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Precedence: bulk

Add a generic_idle_{enter,exit} helper function to enter and exit kernel
protection when entering and exiting idle, respectively.

While at it, remove a stale RCU comment.
