Subject: [RFT] [PATCH v2] cpuidle: menu: Skip tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() call in some cases
From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@...el.com>
Subject: [PATCH] cpuidle: menu: Skip tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() call in some cases
Because the cost of calling tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() may increase
in the future, reorder the code in menu_select() so it first uses the
statistics to determine the expected idle duration. If that value is
higher than RESIDENCY_THRESHOLD_NS, tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() will
be called to obtain the time till the closest timer and refine the
idle duration prediction if necessary.
This causes the governor to always take the full overhead of
get_typical_interval() with the assumption that the cost will be
amortized by skipping the tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() call in the
cases when the predicted idle duration is relatively very small.
