Subject: [PATCH] cpufreq: stats: Do not account for idle time when tracking time_in_state
Date: Tue, 12 Jan 2010 17:15:50 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1263345350-25975-1-git-send-email-mike@android.com> (raw)
Setting ignore_idle to 1 ignores idle time from time_in_state accounting.
Currently cpufreq stats accounts for idle time time_in_state for each
cpu speed. For cpu's that have a low power idle state this improperly
accounts for time spent at each speed.
The most relevant case is when the system is idle yet cpu time is still
accounted for at the lowest speed. This results in heavily skewed statistics
(towards the lowest speed) which makes these statistics useless when tuning
cpufreq scaling with cpuidle.
