Wysocki" [ Upstream commit 85975daeaa4d6ec560bfcd354fc9c08ad7f38888 ] When giving up on making a high-confidence prediction, get_typical_interval() always returns UINT_MAX which means that the next idle interval prediction will be based entirely on the time till the next timer. However, the information represented by the most recent intervals may not be completely useless in those cases. Namely, the largest recent idle interval is an upper bound on the recently observed idle duration, so it is reasonable to assume that the next idle duration is unlikely to exceed it. Moreover, this is still true after eliminating the suspected outliers if the sample set still under consideration is at least as large as 50% of the maximum sample set size. Accordingly, make get_typical_interval() return the current maximum recent interval value in that case instead of UINT_MAX. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
