Commit 87c9fe6ee495 (cpuidle: menu: Avoid selecting shallow states with stopped tick) missed the case when the target residencies of deep idle states of CPUs are above the tick boundary which may cause the CPU to get stuck in a shallow idle state for a long time. Say there are two CPU idle states available: one shallow, with the target residency much below the tick boundary and one deep, with the target residency significantly above the tick boundary. In that case, if the tick has been stopped already and the expected next timer event is relatively far in the future, the governor will assume the idle duration to be equal to TICK_USEC and it will select the idle state for the CPU accordingly. However, that will cause the shallow state to be selected even though it would have been more energy-efficient to select the deep one. To address this issue, modify the governor to always use the time till the closest timer event instead of the predicted idle duration if the latter is less than the tick period length and the tick has been stopped already. Also make it extend the search for a matching idle state if the tick is stopped to avoid settling on a shallow state if deep states with target residencies above the tick period length are available. In addition, make it always indicate that the tick should be stopped if it has been stopped already for consistency.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
