* DOC: teo-description
*
* 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 cause 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 (known) time till the closest
- * timer event, referred to as the sleep length, is likely to be suitable for
- * the upcoming CPU idle period and, if not, then which of the shallower idle
- * states to choose instead of it.
+ * timer interrupts are two or more orders of magnitude more frequent than any
+ * other interrupt types, so they are likely to dominate CPU wakeup patterns.
+ * Moreover, in principle, the time when the next timer event is going to occur
+ * can be determined at the idle state selection time, although doing that may
+ * be costly, so it can be regarded as the most reliable source of information
+ * for idle state selection.
*
- * Of course, non-timer wakeup sources are more important in some use cases
- * which can be covered by taking a few most recent idle time intervals of the
- * CPU into account. However, even in that context it is not necessary to
- * consider idle duration values greater than the sleep length, because the
- * closest timer will ultimately wake up the CPU anyway unless it is woken up
- * earlier.
+ * Of course, non-timer wakeup sources are more important in some use cases,
+ * but even then it is generally unnecessary to consider idle duration values
+ * greater than the time time till the next timer event, referred as the sleep
+ * length in what follows, because the closest timer will ultimately wake up the
+ * CPU anyway unless it is woken up earlier.
*
- * Thus this governor estimates whether or not the prospective idle duration of
- * a CPU is likely to be significantly shorter than the sleep length and selects
- * an idle state for it accordingly.
+ * However, since obtaining the sleep length may be costly, the governor first
+ * checks if it can select a shallow idle state using wakeup pattern information
+ * from recent times, in which case it can do without knowing the sleep length
+ * at all. For this purpose, it counts CPU wakeup events and looks for an idle
+ * state whose target residency has not exceeded the idle duration (measured
+ * after wakeup) in the majority of relevant recent cases. If the target
+ * residency of that state is small enough, it may be used right away and the
+ * sleep length need not be determined.
*
* The computations carried out by this governor are based on using bins whose
* boundaries are aligned with the target residency parameter values of the CPU

* sleep length and the idle duration measured after CPU wakeup fall into the
* same bin (that is, the CPU appears to wake up "on time" relative to the sleep
* length). In turn, the "intercepts" metric reflects the relative frequency of
- * situations in which the measured idle duration is so much shorter than the
- * sleep length that the bin it falls into corresponds to an idle state
- * shallower than the one whose bin is fallen into by the sleep length (these
- * situations are referred to as "intercepts" below).
+ * non-timer wakeup events for which the measured idle duration falls into a bin
+ * that corresponds to an idle state shallower than the one whose bin is fallen
+ * into by the sleep length (these events are also referred to as "intercepts"
+ * below).
+ *
+ * The governor also counts "intercepts" with the measured idle duration below
+ * the tick period length and uses this information when deciding whether or not
+ * to stop the scheduler tick.
*
* In order to select an idle state for a CPU, the governor takes the following
* steps (modulo the possible latency constraint that must be taken into account
* too):
*
- * 1. Find the deepest CPU idle state whose target residency does not exceed
- * the current sleep length (the candidate idle state) and compute 2 sums as
- * follows:
+ * 1. Find the deepest enabled CPU idle state (the candidate idle state) and
+ * compute 2 sums as follows:
*
- * - The sum of the "hits" and "intercepts" metrics for the candidate state
- * and all of the deeper idle states (it represents the cases in which the
- * CPU was idle long enough to avoid being intercepted if the sleep length
- * had been equal to the current one).
+ * - The sum of the "hits" metric for all of the idle states shallower than
+ * the candidate one (it represents the cases in which the CPU was likely
+ * woken up by a timer).
*
- * - The sum of the "intercepts" metrics for all of the idle states shallower
- * than the candidate one (it represents the cases in which the CPU was not
- * idle long enough to avoid being intercepted if the sleep length had been
- * equal to the current one).
+ * - The sum of the "intercepts" metric for all of the idle states shallower
+ * than the candidate one (it represents the cases in which the CPU was
+ * likely woken up by a non-timer wakeup source).
*
- * 2. If the second sum is greater than the first one the CPU is likely to wake
- * up early, so look for an alternative idle state to select.
+ * 2. If the second sum computed in step 1 is greater than a half of the sum of
+ * both metrics for the candidate state bin and all subsequent bins(if any),
+ * a shallower idle state is likely to be more suitable, so look for it.
*
- * - Traverse the idle states shallower than the candidate one in the
+ * - Traverse the enabled idle states shallower than the candidate one in the
* descending order.
*
* - For each of them compute the sum of the "intercepts" metrics over all
* of the idle states between it and the candidate one (including the
* former and excluding the latter).
*
- * - If each of these sums that needs to be taken into account (because the
- * check related to it has indicated that the CPU is likely to wake up
- * early) is greater than a half of the corresponding sum computed in step
- * 1 (which means that the target residency of the state in question had
- * not exceeded the idle duration in over a half of the relevant cases),
- * select the given idle state instead of the candidate one.
+ * - If this sum is greater than a half of the second sum computed in step 1,
+ * use the given idle state as the new candidate one.
+ *
+ * 3. If the current candidate state is state 0 or its target residency is short
+ * enough, return it and prevent the scheduler tick from being stopped.
*
- * 3. By default, select the candidate state.
+ * 4. Obtain the sleep length value and check if it is below the target
+ * residency of the current candidate state, in which case a new shallower
+ * candidate state needs to be found, so look for it.
