cpuidle - minimum time for sleep

cpuidle - minimum time for sleep

[Ran Shalit]

Hello,

Does anybody know what is the minimum expected time for sleep period
with the cpuidle ?

I intend t use the menu governer, and I try to estimate the sleep time.

Thanks,
Ran

Both processor dependent and sleep level dependent.  There's a certain
amount of latency induced by the hardware waking up.

Look at /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpuidle/state*/latency

Yes, that is correct. the sleep and wakeup time are dependent on the
power state we attempt (may or maynot achieve)

I personally toggle an unused pin using padmux register write with
weak pull up/down in controlled tests (mostly using disable =1 for
states I am not measuring), then capture pinctrl toggles using [1]
into a csv for many thousands of iterations then use the conservative
values. I usually do this at the slowest frequency to capture the
worst case values that i feed into cpuidle_driver.states.exit_latency
and appropriate value for target_residency - I usually ignore
power_usage as the value is never a constant and depends on quiet a
few factors that i cannot discuss in public domain.

Here are some helpful links on OMAP specific strategies (these may be
a little old, but just search for CPUIDLE latency measure in google)

By sleep period do you mean sleep time for complete device or only for
cpu's? If you want to check for device as a whole, you can see the print in
the kernel log. If you want to check programmatically,
suspend_devices_and_enter() is the function.
