Subject: Re: [RESEND] [PATCH] : ACPI : Use clocksource to get the C-state time
 instead of ACPI PM timer


Adding Thomas Gleixner and LKML to this thread.

Thomas,
Basically we're now faced with the possibility
of cores left idle for longer than the 24-bit
pm-timer can count (4.6 seconds), we we can't
hard code use of that timer for
C-state residency accounting.

Is ktime_get_real() the right interface to use?

thanks,
-Len
