From 8e92b6605da989c0aa8ff7e33306f36f0efd957c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Venki Pallipadi Date: Fri, 29 Feb 2008 10:24:32 -0800 Subject: cpuidle: fix 100% C0 statistics regression commit 9b12e18cdc1553de62d931e73443c806347cd974 'ACPI: cpuidle: Support C1 idle time accounting' was implicated in a 100% C0 idle regression. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10076 It pointed out a potential problem where the menu governor may get confused by the C-state residency time from poll idle or C1 idle, where this timing info is not accurate. This inaccuracy is due to interrupts being handled before we account for C-state exit. Do not mark TIME_VALID for CO poll state. Mark C1 time as valid only with the MWAIT (CSTATE_FFH) entry method. This makes governors use the timing information only when it is correct and eliminates any wrong policy decisions that may result from invalid timing information.
