Using __noinstr_section() doesn't automatically disable all
instrumentations on the section. Inhibition for some
instrumentations requires extra code. I.E. KPROBES explicitly
avoids instrumenting on .noinstr.text.

Hello
The change has been made upstream as a part of the commit
2b5a0e425e6e(objtool/idle: Validate __cpuidle code as noinstr).
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230112195540.373461409@infradead.org
Thanks
Lai

Guo, the generic entry series doesn't apply cleanly on riscv/for-next >6.2-rc1, and this patch is the issue. Could you do a respin (potentially w/o this patch)? Cheers, Björn
