 * Timer events oriented CPU idle governor
 *
 * Copyright (C) 2018 Intel Corporation
 * Author: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>
 *
 * 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
 * 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.
 *
 * 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.
 *
 * 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:
 *
 * - Find an idle state on the basis of the sleep length and state statistics
 *   collected over time:
 *
 *   o Find the deepest idle state whose target residency is less than or equal
 *     to the sleep length.
 *
 *   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).
 *
 *   o Otherwise, select the shallower state with the greatest matched "early"
 *     wakeups metric.
 *
 * - 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).

 *
 * Also, from the TEO governor perspective, a CPU wakeup from idle is "early" if
 * it occurs significantly earlier than the closest expected timer event (that
 * is, early enough to match an idle state shallower than the one matching the
 * time till the closest timer event).  Otherwise, the wakeup is "on time", or
 * it is a "hit".

 * A "miss" occurs when the given state doesn't match the wakeup, but it matches
