      cpuidle: menu: Refine idle state selection for running tick · 296bb1e5
      Rafael J. Wysocki 提交于
      If the tick isn't stopped, the target residency of the state selected
      by the menu governor may be greater than the actual time to the next
      tick and that means lost energy.
      
      To avoid that, make tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() return the current
      time to the next event (before stopping the tick) in addition to the
      estimated one via an extra pointer argument and make menu_select()
      use that value to refine the state selection when necessary.

      sched: idle: Select idle state before stopping the tick · 554c8aa8
      Rafael J. Wysocki 提交于
      In order to address the issue with short idle duration predictions
      by the idle governor after the scheduler tick has been stopped,
      reorder the code in cpuidle_idle_call() so that the governor idle
      state selection runs before tick_nohz_idle_go_idle() and use the
      "nohz" hint returned by cpuidle_select() to decide whether or not
      to stop the tick.
      
      This isn't straightforward, because menu_select() invokes
      tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() to get the time to the next timer
      event and the number returned by the latter comes from
      __tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick().  Fortunately, however, it is possible
      to compute that number without actually stopping the tick and with
      the help of the existing code.
      
      Namely, tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() can be made call
      tick_nohz_next_event(), introduced earlier, to get the time to the
      next non-highres timer event.  If that happens, tick_nohz_next_event()
      need not be called by __tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick() again.
      
      If it turns out that the scheduler tick cannot be stopped going
      forward or the next timer event is too close for the tick to be
      stopped, tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() can simply return the time to
      the next event currently programmed into the corresponding clock
      event device.
      
      In addition to knowing the return value of tick_nohz_next_event(),
      however, tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() needs to know the time to the
      next highres timer event, but with the scheduler tick timer excluded,
      which can be computed with the help of hrtimer_get_next_event().
      
      That minimum of that number and the tick_nohz_next_event() return
      value is the total time to the next timer event with the assumption
      that the tick will be stopped.  It can be returned to the idle
      governor which can use it for predicting idle duration (under the
      assumption that the tick will be stopped) and deciding whether or
      not it makes sense to stop the tick before putting the CPU into the
      selected idle state.
      
      With the above, the sleep_length field in struct tick_sched is not
      necessary any more, so drop it.
