[PATCH 3/4] ACPI C-States: accounting of sleep times

From: Dominik Brodowski
Date: Sat Dec 31 2005 - 06:12:36 EST


Also track the actual time spent in C-States (C2 upwards, we can't
determine this for C1), not only the number of invocations. This is
especially useful for dynamic ticks / "tickless systems", but is also
of interest on normal systems, as any interrupt activity leads to
C-States being exited, not only the timer interrupt.
