<id>45f1ff59e27ca59d33cc1a317e669d90022ccf7d</id>
<content type='text'>
Add a new pointer argument to cpuidle_select() and to the -&gt;select
cpuidle governor callback to allow a boolean value indicating
whether or not the tick should be stopped before entering the
selected state to be returned from there.

Make the ladder governor ignore that pointer (to preserve its
current behavior) and make the menu governor return 'false" through
it if:
 (1) the idle exit latency is constrained at 0, or
 (2) the selected state is a polling one, or
 (3) the expected idle period duration is within the tick period
     range.

In addition to that, the correction factor computations in the menu
governor need to take the possibility that the tick may not be
stopped into account to avoid artificially small correction factor
values.  To that end, add a mechanism to record tick wakeups, as
suggested by Peter Zijlstra, and use it to modify the menu_update()
behavior when tick wakeup occurs.  Namely, if the CPU is woken up by
the tick and the return value of tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() is not
within the tick boundary, the predicted idle duration is likely too
short, so make menu_update() try to compensate for that by updating
the governor statistics as though the CPU was idle for a long time.

Since the value returned through the new argument pointer of
cpuidle_select() is not used by its caller yet, this change by
itself is not expected to alter the functionality of the code.

<title>PM: cpuidle/suspend: Add s2idle usage and time state attributes</title>

<id>64bdff698092aa6be28c3b248f887022eec77902</id>
<content type='text'>
Add a new attribute group called "s2idle" under the sysfs directory
of each cpuidle state that supports the -&gt;enter_s2idle callback
and put two new attributes, "usage" and "time", into that group to
represent the number of times the given state was requested for
suspend-to-idle and the total time spent in suspend-to-idle after
requesting that state, respectively.

That will allow diagnostic information related to suspend-to-idle
to be collected without enabling advanced debug features and
analyzing dmesg output.

<title>cpuidle: fix broadcast control when broadcast can not be entered</title>

<id>f187851b9b4a76952b1158b86434563dd2031103</id>
<content type='text'>
When failing to enter broadcast timer mode for an idle state that
requires it, a new state is selected that does not require broadcast,
but the broadcast variable remains set. This causes
tick_broadcast_exit to be called despite not having entered broadcast
mode.

This causes the WARN_ON_ONCE(!irqs_disabled()) to trigger in some
cases. It does not appear to cause problems for code today, but seems
to violate the interface so should be fixed.

Ville reported that on his Core2, which has TSC stop in idle, we would
always report very short idle durations. He tracked this down to
commit:

  e93e59ce5b85 ("cpuidle: Replace ktime_get() with local_clock()")

which replaces ktime_get() with local_clock().

Add a sched_clock_idle_wakeup_event() call, which will re-sync the
clock with ktime_get_ns() when TSC is unstable and no-op otherwise.
