+ * 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 source of CPU
+ * 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 time to the closest timer is
- * likely to be suitable for the upcoming idle time of the CPU and, if not, then
- * which of the shallower idle states to choose.
+ * 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.
+ *
+ * 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.
+ *
+ * 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.
+ *
+ * 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
+ * idle states provided by the %CPUIdle driver in the ascending order. That is,
+ * the first bin spans from 0 up to, but not including, the target residency of
+ * the second idle state (idle state 1), the second bin spans from the target
+ * residency of idle state 1 up to, but not including, the target residency of
+ * idle state 2, the third bin spans from the target residency of idle state 2
+ * up to, but not including, the target residency of idle state 3 and so on.
+ * The last bin spans from the target residency of the deepest idle state
+ * supplied by the driver to infinity.
+ *
+ * Two metrics called "hits" and "intercepts" are associated with each bin.
+ * They are updated every time before selecting an idle state for the given CPU
+ * in accordance with what happened last time.
+ *
+ * The "hits" metric reflects the relative frequency of situations in which the
+ * 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).
+ *
+ * In addition to the metrics described above, the governor counts recent
+ * intercepts (that is, intercepts that have occurred during the last
+ * %NR_RECENT invocations of it for the given CPU) for each bin.
*
- * Of course, non-timer wakeup sources are more important in some use cases and
- * they can be covered by taking a few most recent idle time intervals of the
- * CPU into account. However, even in that case it is not necessary to consider
- * idle duration values greater than the time till the closest timer, as the
- * patterns that they may belong to produce average values close enough to
- * the time till the closest timer (sleep length) anyway.
+ * 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):
*
- * Thus this governor estimates whether or not the upcoming idle time of the CPU
- * is likely to be significantly shorter than the sleep length and selects an
- * idle state for it in accordance with that, as follows:
+ * 1. Find the deepest CPU idle state whose target residency does not exceed
+ * the current sleep length (the candidate idle state) and compute 3 sums as
+ * follows:
*
- * - Find an idle state on the basis of the sleep length and state statistics
- * collected over time:
+ * - 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).
*
- * o Find the deepest idle state whose target residency is less than or equal
- * to the sleep length.
+ * - 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).
*
- * o Select it if it matched both the sleep length and the observed idle
- * duration in the past more often than it matched the sleep length alone
- * (i.e. the observed idle duration was significantly shorter than the sleep
- * length matched by it).
+ * - The sum of the numbers of recent intercepts for all of the idle states
+ * shallower than the candidate one.
*
- * o Otherwise, select the shallower state with the greatest matched "early"
- * wakeups metric.
+ * 2. If the second sum is greater than the first one or the third sum is
+ * greater than %NR_RECENT / 2, the CPU is likely to wake up early, so look
+ * for an alternative idle state to select.
*
- * - If the majority of the most recent idle duration values are below the
- * target residency of the idle state selected so far, use those values to
- * compute the new expected idle duration and find an idle state matching it
- * (which has to be shallower than the one selected so far).
+ * - Traverse the idle states shallower than the candidate one in the
+ * descending order.
+ *
+ * - For each of them compute the sum of the "intercepts" metrics and the sum
+ * of the numbers of recent intercepts 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.
+ *
+ * 3. By default, select the candidate state.
