| |
2.6.33-longterm review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------ From: Tero Kristo <tero.kristo@nokia.com>
commit 7467571f4480b273007517b26297c07154c73924 upstream.
Cpuidle menu governor is using u32 as a temporary datatype for storing nanosecond values which wrap around at 4.294 seconds. This causes errors in predicted sleep times resulting in higher than should be C state selection and increased power consumption. This also breaks cpuidle state residency statistics.
