commit f1c8e410
category: bugfix
bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I48J5M
CVE: NA

-------------------------------------------------

bug: 73520

If the minimum interval taken into account in the average computation
loop in get_typical_interval() is less than the expected idle
duration determined so far, the resultant average cannot be greater
than that value as well and the entire return result of the function
is going to be discarded anyway going forward.

In that case, it is a waste of time to carry out the remaining
computations in get_typical_interval(), so avoid that by returning
early if the minimum interval is not below the expected idle duration.

[liuyun01@kylinos.cn: in theory, this patch did not do much work, but
due to the addition of the previous patch eee4b653 ("cpuidle:
menu: Avoid overflows when computing variance"), the value of thresh
was adjusted from UINT_MAX to INT_MAX, which led to the possibility
of dividing by 0, which eventually led to panic.]

Fixes: eee4b653 ("cpuidle: menu: Avoid overflows when computing variance")
(cherry-picked from f1c8e410)
