I finally got around to implement this and code is much simpler. I also have good test results in terms of efficiency, scalability, etc. http://events.linuxfoundation.org/sites/events/files/slides/LinuxCon_Japan_2015_idle_injection1_0.pdf slide #18+ shows the data on client and server. I have two choices for this code: 1) be part of existing powerclamp driver but require exporting some sched APIs. 2) be part of sched since the genernal rule applies when it comes down to sycnhronized idle time for best power savings. The patches below are for #2. There is a known problem with LOW RES timer mode that I am working on. But I am hoping to get review earlier. We are entering a very power limited environment on client side, frequency scaling can only be efficient at certain range. e.g. on SKL, upto ~900MHz, anything below, it is increasingly more efficient to do C-states insertion if coordinated. Looking forward, there are use case beyond thermal/power capping. I think we can consolidate ballanced partial busy workload that are evenly distributed among CPUs. Please let me know what you think.
