Subject: [PATCH] cpuidle: Add 'high' and 'low' idle state metrics
From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@...el.com>
Add two new metrics for CPU idle states, "high" and "low", 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 high or too low for it (respectively).
These mertics help to estimat the quality of the CPU idle governor
in use.
