Subject: Re: [PATCH] ACPI, CPU_IDLE: Add more information about C-states
Date: Thu, 14 Feb 2008 03:09:01 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200802140309.01871.lenb@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <200802140010.22097.lenb@kernel.org>
I'm confused by state0 -- why are usage and time non-zero --
is this due to some residency there during initialization?
I don't know if I like the looks of 2^32 - 1 as the power number...

of course this isnt' new with this patch -- 2.6.25-rc1 looks as below:
