# HG changeset patch # User Keir Fraser <keir.fraser@xxxxxxxxxx> # Date 1259310547 0 # Node ID 5325327eada0d590bf27e252f25ec6683f988c95 # Parent 87ff5a18039d3932774887ec1fef473e5dc32918 cpuidle: Add decaying history logic to menu idle predictor this patch is ported from linux upstream git commit 816bb611e41be29b476dc16f6297eb551bf4d747 the original description is: " Add decaying history of predicted idle time, instead of using the last early wakeup. This logic helps menu governor do better job of predicting idle time. With this change, we also measured noticable (~8%) power savings on a DP server system with CPUs supporting deep C states, when system was lightly loaded. There was no change to power or perf on other load conditions.

In one DP server, when system is purely idle, the watts stdev/average reduce from 6% to 2%. it is helpful for idle power measurement accuracy. There is no performance and power change when system is loaded.
