Re: [RFC/RFT,v7] cpuidle: New timer events oriented governor for tickless systems

Hi Rafael,

I run several popular Android performance benchmarks on teov7, using kernel
4.19.0 as my baseline because I happen to work on it. To backport teov7 to
kernel 4.19.0, I also backport patch 5f26bdc: "cpuidle: menu: Fix wakeup
statistics updates for polling state". The teov7 doesn't show regressions on
such perf KPIs.

Compare "4.19 + 5f26bdc" and "4.19 + 5f26bdc + teov7" on Android with Intel
Apollo Lake SoC:
