	The never-ending entry.S refactoring continues, putting us in a much better place wrt compiler instrumentation whilst moving more of the code into C. * for-next/entry: arm64: idle: don't instrument idle code with KCOV arm64: entry: don't instrument entry code with KCOV arm64: entry: make NMI entry/exit functions static arm64: entry: split SDEI entry arm64: entry: split bad stack entry arm64: entry: fold el1_inv() into el1h_64_sync_handler() arm64: entry: handle all vectors with C arm64: entry: template the entry asm functions arm64: entry: improve bad_mode() arm64: entry: move bad_mode() to entry-common.c arm64: entry: consolidate EL1 exception returns arm64: entry: organise entry vectors consistently arm64: entry: organise entry handlers consistently arm64: entry: convert IRQ+FIQ handlers to C arm64: entry: add a call_on_irq_stack helper arm64: entry: move NMI preempt logic to C arm64: entry: move arm64_preempt_schedule_irq to entry-common.c arm64: entry: convert SError handlers to C arm64: entry: unmask IRQ+FIQ after EL0 handling arm64: remove redundant local_daif_mask() in bad_mode()
2021-06-07	arm64: idle: don't instrument idle code with KCOV	Mark Rutland
	The low-level idle code in arch_cpu_idle() and its callees runs at a time where where portions of the kernel environment aren't available. For example, RCU may not be watching, and lockdep state may be out-of-sync with the hardware. Due to this, it is not sound to instrument this code. We generally avoid instrumentation by marking the entry functions as `noinstr`, but currently this doesn't inhibit KCOV instrumentation. Prevent this by factoring these functions into a new idle.c so that we can disable KCOV for the entire compilation unit, as is done for the core idle code in kernel/sched/idle.c. We'd like to keep instrumentation of the rest of process.c, and for the existing code in cpuidle.c, so a new compilation unit is preferable. The arch_cpu_idle_dead() function in process.c is a cpu hotplug function that is safe to instrument, so it is left as-is in process.c.
