Subject: cpuidle: remove CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIME_INVALID
Date: Tue, 16 Dec 2014 01:52:05 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1418712728-2193-1-git-send-email-lenb@kernel.org> (raw)
Daniel Lezcano suggested removing CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIME_INVALID because
no states enable interrupts, and so cpuidle can always measure valid
residency time. That turns out not to be un-true since x86 HALT is
invoked with interrupts enabled. But looking at the code more closely,
Daniel's suggestion of simply removing the CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIME_INVALID
is actually an improvement over the workaround that we are currently using.
