Rafael J. Wysocki 060e3535ad cpuidle: menu: Take negative "sleep length" values into account
Make the menu governor check the tick_nohz_get_next_hrtimer()
return value so as to avoid dealing with negative "sleep length"
values and make it use that value directly when the tick is stopped.

While at it, rename local variable delta_next in menu_select() to
delta_tick which better reflects its purpose.

/*
* Concepts and ideas behind the menu governor
*
* For the menu governor, there are 3 decision factors for picking a C
* state:
* 1) Energy break even point
* 2) Performance impact
* 3) Latency tolerance (from pmqos infrastructure)
* These these three factors are treated independently.
*
* Energy break even point
* -----------------------
* C state entry and exit have an energy cost, and a certain amount of time in
* the C state is required to actually break even on this cost. CPUIDLE
* provides us this duration in the "target_residency" field. So all that we
* need is a good prediction of how long we'll be idle. Like the traditional
* menu governor, we start with the actual known "next timer event" time.
*
* Since there are other source of wakeups (interrupts for example) than
* the next timer event, this estimation is rather optimistic. To get a
* more realistic estimate, a correction factor is applied to the estimate,
* that is based on historic behavior. For example, if in the past the actual
* duration always was 50% of the next timer tick, the correction factor will
* be 0.5.
*
* menu uses a running average for this correction factor, however it uses a
* set of factors, not just a single factor. This stems from the realization
* that the ratio is dependent on the order of magnitude of the expected
* duration; if we expect 500 milliseconds of idle time the likelihood of
* getting an interrupt very early is much higher than if we expect 50 micro
* seconds of idle time. A second independent factor that has big impact on
* the actual factor is if there is (disk) IO outstanding or not.
* (as a special twist, we consider every sleep longer than 50 milliseconds
* as perfect; there are no power gains for sleeping longer than this)
*
* For these two reasons we keep an array of 12 independent factors, that gets
* indexed based on the magnitude of the expected duration as well as the
* "is IO outstanding" property.
*
* Repeatable-interval-detector
* ----------------------------
* There are some cases where "next timer" is a completely unusable predictor:
* Those cases where the interval is fixed, for example due to hardware
* interrupt mitigation, but also due to fixed transfer rate devices such as
* mice.
* For this, we use a different predictor: We track the duration of the last 8
* intervals and if the stand deviation of these 8 intervals is below a
* threshold value, we use the average of these intervals as prediction.
*
* Limiting Performance Impact
* ---------------------------
* C states, especially those with large exit latencies, can have a real
* noticeable impact on workloads, which is not acceptable for most sysadmins,
* and in addition, less performance has a power price of its own.
*
* As a general rule of thumb, menu assumes that the following heuristic
* holds:
* The busier the system, the less impact of C states is acceptable
*
* This rule-of-thumb is implemented using a performance-multiplier:
* If the exit latency times the performance multiplier is longer than
* the predicted duration, the C state is not considered a candidate
* for selection due to a too high performance impact. So the higher
* this multiplier is, the longer we need to be idle to pick a deep C
* state, and thus the less likely a busy CPU will hit such a deep
* C state.
*
* Two factors are used in determing this multiplier:
* a value of 10 is added for each point of "per cpu load average" we have.
* a value of 5 points is added for each process that is waiting for
* IO on this CPU.
* (these values are experimentally determined)
*
* The load average factor gives a longer term (few seconds) input to the
* decision, while the iowait value gives a cpu local instantanious input.
* The iowait factor may look low, but realize that this is also already
* represented in the system load average.
*
