Subject[PATCH v2 0/3] Stop sched tick in idle injection task
Date
Changelog:
v2:
- moved duration timer from powerclamp driver to play_idle()
- unexport cpuidle_use_deepest_state
- indentation fix

Idle injection drivers today use RT threads to run idle loop. There are
efficiency and accounting issues with the current intel_powerclamp.c
and acpi_pad.c. A while ago, I posted CFS based idle injection patch trying
to address them:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/11/13/576

Peter proposed another approach with the introduction of a PF_IDLE flag.
This patchset is based on his original posting:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/6/4/56

These patches apply on top of the kworker and cpu hotplug state machine
changes made to Intel powerclamp driver.
https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/10/17/362

Similar changes to ACPI PAD driver is developed along with other
enhancements. It will be posted after this patchset is accepted.

Jacob Pan (2):
cpuidle: allow setting deepest idle
thermal/powerclamp: stop sched tick in forced idle

Peter Zijlstra (1):
idle: add support for tasks that inject idle
