- * leaving it, "--=" for events moving towards idle, and "++=" for events
- * moving away from idle. "Error on entry: not idle task" and "Error on
- * exit: not idle task" indicate that a non-idle task is erroneously
+ * as argument: "Start" for entering dyntick-idle mode, "Startirq" for
+ * entering it from irq/NMI, "End" for leaving it, "Endirq" for leaving it
+ * to irq/NMI, "--=" for events moving towards idle, and "++=" for events
+ * moving away from idle. "Error on entry: not idle task" and "Error
+ * on exit: not idle task" indicate that a non-idle task is erroneously
* toying with the idle loop.
*
* These events also take a pair of numbers, which indicate the nesting
* depth before and after the event of interest. Note that task-related
- * events use the upper bits of each number, while interrupt-related
- * events use the lower bits.
+ * and interrupt-related events use two separate counters, and that the
+ * "++=" and "--=" events for irq/NMI will change the counter by two,
+ * otherwise by one.
