Rafael J. Wysocki cab09f3d2d cpuidle: teo: Allow tick to be stopped if PM QoS is used
The TEO goveror prevents the scheduler tick from being stopped (unless
stopped already) if there is a PM QoS latency constraint for the given
CPU and the target residency of the deepest idle state matching that
constraint is below the tick boundary.

However, that is problematic if CPUs with PM QoS latency constraints
are idle for long times, because it effectively causes the tick to
run on them all the time which is wasteful.  [It is also confusing
and questionable if they are full dynticks CPUs.]

To address that issue, modify the TEO governor to carry out the
entire search for the most suitable idle state (from the target
residency perspective) even if a latency constraint is present,
to allow it to determine the expected idle duration in all cases.

Also, when using the last several measured idle duration values
to refine the idle state selection, make it compare those values
with the current expected idle duration value (instead of
comparing them with the target residency of the idle state
selected so far) which should prevent the tick from being
retained when it makes sense to stop it sometimes (especially
in the presence of PM QoS latency constraints).

* Timer events oriented CPU idle governor
*
* Copyright (C) 2018 Intel Corporation
* Author: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>
*
* The idea of this governor is based on the observation that on many systems
* timer events are two or more orders of magnitude more frequent than any
* other interrupts, so they are likely to be the most significant source of CPU
* wakeups from idle states. Moreover, information about what happened in the
* (relatively recent) past can be used to estimate whether or not the deepest
* idle state with target residency within the time to the closest timer is
* likely to be suitable for the upcoming idle time of the CPU and, if not, then
* which of the shallower idle states to choose.
*
* Of course, non-timer wakeup sources are more important in some use cases and
* they can be covered by taking a few most recent idle time intervals of the
* CPU into account. However, even in that case it is not necessary to consider
* idle duration values greater than the time till the closest timer, as the
* patterns that they may belong to produce average values close enough to
* the time till the closest timer (sleep length) anyway.
*
* Thus this governor estimates whether or not the upcoming idle time of the CPU
* is likely to be significantly shorter than the sleep length and selects an
* idle state for it in accordance with that, as follows:
*
* - Find an idle state on the basis of the sleep length and state statistics
* collected over time:
*
* o Find the deepest idle state whose target residency is less than or equal
* to the sleep length.
*
* o Select it if it matched both the sleep length and the observed idle
* duration in the past more often than it matched the sleep length alone
* (i.e. the observed idle duration was significantly shorter than the sleep
* length matched by it).
*
* o Otherwise, select the shallower state with the greatest matched "early"
* wakeups metric.
*
* - If the majority of the most recent idle duration values are below the
* target residency of the idle state selected so far, use those values to
* compute the new expected idle duration and find an idle state matching it
* (which has to be shallower than the one selected so far).
