  30 * Concepts and ideas behind the menu governor
  31 *
  32 * For the menu governor, there are 3 decision factors for picking a C
  33 * state:
  34 * 1) Energy break even point
  35 * 2) Performance impact
  36 * 3) Latency tolerance (from pmqos infrastructure)
  37 * These these three factors are treated independently.
  38 *
  39 * Energy break even point
  40 * -----------------------
  41 * C state entry and exit have an energy cost, and a certain amount of time in
  42 * the  C state is required to actually break even on this cost. CPUIDLE
  43 * provides us this duration in the "target_residency" field. So all that we
  44 * need is a good prediction of how long we'll be idle. Like the traditional
  45 * menu governor, we start with the actual known "next timer event" time.
  46 *
  47 * Since there are other source of wakeups (interrupts for example) than
  48 * the next timer event, this estimation is rather optimistic. To get a
  49 * more realistic estimate, a correction factor is applied to the estimate,
  50 * that is based on historic behavior. For example, if in the past the actual
  51 * duration always was 50% of the next timer tick, the correction factor will
  52 * be 0.5.
  53 *
  54 * menu uses a running average for this correction factor, however it uses a
  55 * set of factors, not just a single factor. This stems from the realization
  56 * that the ratio is dependent on the order of magnitude of the expected
  57 * duration; if we expect 500 milliseconds of idle time the likelihood of
  58 * getting an interrupt very early is much higher than if we expect 50 micro
  59 * seconds of idle time. A second independent factor that has big impact on
  60 * the actual factor is if there is (disk) IO outstanding or not.
  61 * (as a special twist, we consider every sleep longer than 50 milliseconds
  62 * as perfect; there are no power gains for sleeping longer than this)
  63 *
  64 * For these two reasons we keep an array of 12 independent factors, that gets
  65 * indexed based on the magnitude of the expected duration as well as the
  66 * "is IO outstanding" property.
  67 *
  68 * Repeatable-interval-detector
  69 * ----------------------------
  70 * There are some cases where "next timer" is a completely unusable predictor:
  71 * Those cases where the interval is fixed, for example due to hardware
  72 * interrupt mitigation, but also due to fixed transfer rate devices such as
  73 * mice.
  74 * For this, we use a different predictor: We track the duration of the last 8
  75 * intervals and if the stand deviation of these 8 intervals is below a
  76 * threshold value, we use the average of these intervals as prediction.
  77 *
  78 * Limiting Performance Impact
  79 * ---------------------------
  80 * C states, especially those with large exit latencies, can have a real
  81 * noticeable impact on workloads, which is not acceptable for most sysadmins,
  82 * and in addition, less performance has a power price of its own.
  83 *
  84 * As a general rule of thumb, menu assumes that the following heuristic
  85 * holds:
  86 *     The busier the system, the less impact of C states is acceptable
  87 *
  88 * This rule-of-thumb is implemented using a performance-multiplier:
  89 * If the exit latency times the performance multiplier is longer than
  90 * the predicted duration, the C state is not considered a candidate
  91 * for selection due to a too high performance impact. So the higher
  92 * this multiplier is, the longer we need to be idle to pick a deep C
  93 * state, and thus the less likely a busy CPU will hit such a deep
  94 * C state.
  95 *
  96 * Two factors are used in determing this multiplier:
  97 * a value of 10 is added for each point of "per cpu load average" we have.
  98 * a value of 5 points is added for each process that is waiting for
  99 * IO on this CPU.
 100 * (these values are experimentally determined)
 101 *
 102 * The load average factor gives a longer term (few seconds) input to the
 103 * decision, while the iowait value gives a cpu local instantanious input.
 104 * The iowait factor may look low, but realize that this is also already
 105 * represented in the system load average.
 106 *
