[PATCH 03/10] cpuidle: Report illegal tick stopped while polling

From: Frederic Weisbecker
Date: Fri Aug 11 2023 - 13:01:20 EST


poll_idle() can't be called while the tick is stopped because it enables
interrupts and only polls on TIF_NEED_RESCHED, which doesn't tell if an
interrupt queues a timer that would require a tick re-programming.

There is no point anyway to poll with the tick stopped so add a check
to make sure it never happens.
