The interrupt framework gives a lot of information about each interrupt. It does not keep track of when those interrupts occur though, which is a prerequisite for estimating the next interrupt arrival for power management purposes. Add a mechanism to record the timestamp for each interrupt occurrences in a per-CPU circular buffer to help with the prediction of the next occurrence using a statistical model. Each CPU can store up to IRQ_TIMINGS_SIZE events <irq, timestamp>, the current value of IRQ_TIMINGS_SIZE is 32. Each event is encoded into a single u64, where the high 48 bits are used for the timestamp and the low 16 bits are for the irq number. A static key is introduced so when the irq prediction is switched off at runtime, the overhead is near to zero. It results in most of the code in internals.h for inline reasons and a very few in the new file timings.c. The latter will contain more in the next patch which will provide the statistical model for the next event prediction.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
