      cpuidle: menu: Fall back to polling if next timer event is near · 0c313cb2
      Rafael J. Wysocki authored
      Commit a9ceb78b (cpuidle,menu: use interactivity_req to disable
      polling) changed the behavior of the fallback state selection part
      of menu_select() so it looks at interactivity_req instead of
      data->next_timer_us when it makes its decision.  That effectively
      caused polling to be used more often as fallback idle which led to
      significant increases of energy consumption in some cases.
      
      Commit e132b9b3 (cpuidle: menu: use high confidence factors
      only when considering polling) changed that logic again to be more
      predictable, but that didn't help with the increased energy
      consumption problem.
      
      For this reason, go back to making decisions on which state to fall
      back to based on data->next_timer_us which is the time we know for
      sure something will happen rather than a prediction (which may be
      inaccurate and turns out to be so often enough to be problematic).
      However, take the target residency of the first proper idle state
      (C1) into account, so that state is not used as the fallback one
      if its target residency is greater than data->next_timer_us.

      cpuidle: menu: use high confidence factors only when considering polling · e132b9b3
      Rik van Riel authored
      The menu governor uses five different factors to pick the
      idle state:
       - the user configured latency_req
       - the time until the next timer (next_timer_us)
       - the typical sleep interval, as measured recently
       - an estimate of sleep time by dividing next_timer_us by an observed factor
       - a load corrected version of the above, divided again by load
      
      Only the first three items are known with enough confidence that
      we can use them to consider polling, instead of an actual CPU
      idle state, because the cost of being wrong about polling can be
      excessive power use.
      
      The latter two are used in the menu governor's main selection
      loop, and can result in choosing a shallower idle state when
      the system is expected to be busy again soon.
      
      This pushes a busy system in the "performance" direction of
      the performance<>power tradeoff, when choosing between idle
      states, but stays more strictly on the "power" state when
      deciding between polling and C1.
