SubjectRe: Tracing of power:power_start events doesn't work
Hello,

I took a look at ftrace and tried to narrow my problem down.

Like the callgraph shows, my machine uses the cpuidle framework with
menu governor and an acpi-based driver to handle idle states.
Unfortunately I can't find any instrumentation for tracing power events
in the cpuidle.c and processor_idle.c (acpi idle management). The
following patch achieved success.
