ACPI: processor_idle: Mark LPI enter functions as __cpuidle
When function tracing or Kprobes is enabled, entering an ACPI Low
Power Idle (LPI) state triggers the following RCU splat:
RCU not on for: acpi_idle_lpi_enter+0x4/0xd8
WARNING: CPU: 8 PID: 0 at include/linux/trace_recursion.h:162 function_trace_call+0x1e8/0x228
The acpi_idle_lpi_enter() function is invoked within the cpuidle
path after RCU has already been disabled for the current local CPU.
Consequently, ftrace's function_trace_call() expects RCU to be
actively watching before recording trace data, emitting a warning
if it is not.
Fix this by annotating acpi_idle_lpi_enter(), the generic __weak
stub, and the RISC-V implementation of acpi_processor_ffh_lpi_enter()
with __cpuidle. This moves these functions into the '.cpuidle.text'
section, implicitly disabling ftrace instrumentation (notrace) along
this sensitive path and preventing trace-induced RCU warnings during
idle entry.
Default status is the baseline for the product, each version can override it (e.g. patched versions marked unaffected).
