In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
s390/idle: mark arch_cpu_idle() noinstr
linux-next commit ("cpuidle: tracing: Warn about !rcu_is_watching()") adds a new warning which hits on s390's arch_cpu_idle() function:

Mark arch_cpu_idle() noinstr like all other architectures with CONFIG_ARCH_WANTS_NO_INSTR (should) have it to fix this.
