----

A kernel module + userspace driver to estimate the wakeup latency
caused by going into stop states. The motivation behind this program is
to find significant deviations behind advertised latency and residency
values.

The patchset measures latencies for two kinds of events. IPIs and Timers
As this is a software-only mechanism, there will be additional latencies
of the kernel-firmware-hardware interactions. To account for that, the
program also measures a baseline latency on a 100 percent loaded CPU
and the latencies achieved must be in view relative to that.

To achieve this, we introduce a kernel module and expose its control
knobs through the debugfs interface that the selftests can engage with.

The kernel module provides the following interfaces within
/sys/kernel/debug/powerpc/latency_test/ for,

IPI test:
    ipi_cpu_dest = Destination CPU for the IPI
    ipi_cpu_src = Origin of the IPI
    ipi_latency_ns = Measured latency time in ns
Timeout test:
    timeout_cpu_src = CPU on which the timer to be queued
    timeout_expected_ns = Timer duration
    timeout_diff_ns = Difference of actual duration vs expected timer

Sample output is as follows:

# --IPI Latency Test---
# Baseline Avg IPI latency(ns): 2720
# Observed Avg IPI latency(ns) - State snooze: 2565
# Observed Avg IPI latency(ns) - State stop0_lite: 3856
# Observed Avg IPI latency(ns) - State stop0: 3670
# Observed Avg IPI latency(ns) - State stop1: 3872
# Observed Avg IPI latency(ns) - State stop2: 17421
# Observed Avg IPI latency(ns) - State stop4: 1003922
# Observed Avg IPI latency(ns) - State stop5: 1058870
#
# --Timeout Latency Test--
# Baseline Avg timeout diff(ns): 1435
# Observed Avg timeout diff(ns) - State snooze: 1709
# Observed Avg timeout diff(ns) - State stop0_lite: 2028
# Observed Avg timeout diff(ns) - State stop0: 1954
# Observed Avg timeout diff(ns) - State stop1: 1895
# Observed Avg timeout diff(ns) - State stop2: 14556
# Observed Avg timeout diff(ns) - State stop4: 873988
# Observed Avg timeout diff(ns) - State stop5: 959137
