[RFC v4 1/1] selftests/cpuidle: Add support for cpuidle latency measurement

From: Pratik Rajesh Sampat
Date: Wed Sep 02 2020 - 07:47:44 EST


Measure cpuidle latencies on wakeup to determine and compare with the
advertsied wakeup latencies for each idle state.

Cpuidle wakeup latencies are determined for IPIs and Timer events and
can help determine any deviations from what is advertsied by the
hardware.

A baseline measurement for each case of IPI and timers is taken at
100 percent CPU usage to quantify for the kernel-userpsace overhead
during execution.
