| Doc Text: |
A kernel warning vulnerability was found in the s390 architecture idle handling in the Linux kernel. The arch_cpu_idle() function was not marked as noinstr (no instrumentation), causing RCU and tracing warnings when ftrace is enabled. This can trigger kernel warnings and potential issues with tracing in idle paths on s390 systems.
