Rafael J. Wysocki 87c9fe6ee4 cpuidle: menu: Avoid selecting shallow states with stopped tick
If the scheduler tick has been stopped already and the governor
selects a shallow idle state, the CPU can spend a long time in that
state if the selection is based on an inaccurate prediction of idle
time.  That effect turns out to be relevant, so it needs to be
mitigated.

To that end, modify the menu governor to discard the result of the
idle time prediction if the tick is stopped and the predicted idle
time is less than the tick period length, unless the tick timer is
going to expire soon.

README

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.
