For the RCU part, how about as follows?
If this approach is reasonable, my guess would be that Frederic will pull
it into his context-tracking series, perhaps using a revert of this patch
to maintain sanity in the near term.
If this approach is unreasonable, well, that is Murphy for you!
For the x86 idle part, my feeling is still that the rcu_idle_enter()
and rcu_idle_exit() need to be pushed deeper into the code. Perhaps
an ongoing process as the idle loop continues to be dug deeper?
Thanx, Paul

rcu: Apply noinstr to rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit()
This commit applies the "noinstr" tag to the rcu_idle_enter() and
rcu_idle_exit() functions, which are invoked from portions of the idle
loop that cannot be instrumented. These tags require reworking the
rcu_eqs_enter() and rcu_eqs_exit() functions that these two functions
invoke in order to cause them to use normal assertions rather than
lockdep. In addition, within rcu_idle_exit(), the raw versions of
local_irq_save() and local_irq_restore() are used, again to avoid issues
with lockdep in uninstrumented code.
This patch is based in part on an earlier patch by Jiri Olsa, discussions
with Peter Zijlstra and Frederic Weisbecker, earlier changes by Thomas
Gleixner, and off-list discussions with Yonghong Song.
