Add two new metrics for CPU idle states, "above" and "below", to count
the number of times the given state had been asked for (or entered
from the kernel's perspective), but the observed idle duration turned
out to be too short or too long for it (respectively).

These metrics help to estimate the quality of the CPU idle governor
in use.

<title>cpuidle: menu: Fix wakeup statistics updates for polling state</title>

<content type='text'>
If the CPU exits the "polling" state due to the time limit in the
loop in poll_idle(), this is not a real wakeup and it just means
that the "polling" state selection was not adequate.  The governor
mispredicted short idle duration, but had a more suitable state been
selected, the CPU might have spent more time in it.  In fact, there
is no reason to expect that there would have been a wakeup event
earlier than the next timer in that case.

Handling such cases as regular wakeups in menu_update() may cause the
menu governor to make suboptimal decisions going forward, but ignoring
them altogether would not be correct either, because every time
menu_select() is invoked, it makes a separate new attempt to predict
the idle duration taking distinct time to the closest timer event as
input and the outcomes of all those attempts should be recorded.

For this reason, make menu_update() always assume that if the
"polling" state was exited due to the time limit, the next proper
wakeup event for the CPU would be the next timer event (not
including the tick).

<title>cpuidle: Remove unnecessary wrapper cpuidle_get_last_residency()</title>

cpuidle_get_last_residency() is just a wrapper for retrieving
the last_residency member of struct cpuidle_device.  It's also
weirdly the only wrapper function for accessing cpuidle_* struct
member (by my best guess is it could be a leftover from v2.x).

Anyhow, since the only two users (the ladder and menu governors)
can access dev-&gt;last_residency directly, and it's more intuitive to
do it that way, let's just get rid of the wrapper.

This patch tidies up CPU idle code a bit without functional changes.

<title>cpuidle: Return nohz hint from cpuidle_select()</title>

<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.

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.

If a CPU is entering a low power idle state where it doesn't lose any
context, then there is no need to call cpu_pm_enter()/cpu_pm_exit().
Add a new macro(CPU_PM_CPU_IDLE_ENTER_RETENTION) to be used by cpuidle
drivers when they are entering retention state. By not calling
cpu_pm_enter and cpu_pm_exit we reduce the latency involved in
entering and exiting the retention idle states.

CPU_PM_CPU_IDLE_ENTER_RETENTION assumes that no state is lost and
hence CPU PM notifiers will not be called. We may need a broader
change if we need to support partial retention states effeciently.

On ARM64 based Qualcomm Server Platform we measured below overhead for
for calling cpu_pm_enter and cpu_pm_exit for retention states.

workload: stress --hdd #CPUs --hdd-bytes 32M  -t 30
        Average overhead of cpu_pm_enter - 1.2us
        Average overhead of cpu_pm_exit  - 3.1us
