Because no idle/sleep state is entered here.
State 0 does not exist or say, it means the machine is not idle.
The new event uses idle state 0 spec conform as "exit sleep state".
If this should still be trackable some kind of dummy sleep state:
#define IDLE_BUSY_LOOP 0xFE
(or similar) must get defined and passed like this:
trace_processor_idle(IDLE_BUSY_LOOP, smp_processor_id());
cpu_relax()
trace_processor_idle(0, smp_processor_id());
I could imagine this is somewhat worth it to compare idle results
to "no idle state at all" is used.
But nobody should ever use idle=poll, comparing deep sleep states
with C1 with (idle=halt) should be sufficient?
