From 672917dcc781ead7652a8b11b1fba14e38ac15b8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Corrado Zoccolo Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2009 17:04:09 -0700 Subject: cpuidle: menu governor: reduce latency on exit Move the state residency accounting and statistics computation off the hot exit path. On exit, the need to recompute statistics is recorded, and new statistics will be computed when menu_select is called again. The expected effect is to reduce processor wakeup latency from sleep (C-states). We are speaking of few hundreds of cycles reduction out of a several microseconds latency (determined by the hardware transition), so it is difficult to measure.
