    Subject[PATCH 01/18] cpuidle: menu: fixed wrapping timers at 4.294 seconds
    Date
    From: Tero Kristo <tero.kristo@nokia.com>

    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.
