 * Timer events oriented CPU idle governor
 *
 * Copyright (C) 2018 - 2021 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 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 (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.
 *
 * 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):
 *
 * 1. Find the deepest CPU idle state whose target residency does not exceed
 *    the current sleep length (the candidate idle state) and compute two sums
 *    as follows:
 *
 *    - 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).
 *
 *    - 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).
 *
 * 2. If the second sum is greater than the first one, look for an alternative
 *    idle state to select.
 *
 *    - Traverse the idle states shallower than the candidate one in the
 *      descending order.
 *
 *    - For each of them compute the sum of the "intercepts" metrics over all of
 *      the idle  states between it and the candidate one (including the former
 *      and excluding the latter).
 *
 *    - If that sum is greater than a half of the second 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. If the majority of the most recent idle duration values are below the
 *    current anticipated idle duration, use those values to compute the new
 *    expected idle duration and find an idle state matching it (which has to
 *    be shallower than the current candidate one).
