Documentation: power/cpuidle: Document the CPU system wakeup latency QoS

2025-11-25T18:01:30Z

Let's document how the new CPU system wakeup latency QoS limit can be used from user space, along with how the constraint is taken into account for s2idle and cpuidle.

cpuidle: menu: Update documentation after get_typical_interval() changes

The documentation of the menu cpuidle governor needs to be updated to match the code behavior after some changes made recently. No functional impact. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

cpuidle: menu: Update documentation after previous changes

2025-01-13T19:41:39Z

After commit 38f83090f515 ("cpuidle: menu: Remove iowait influence") and other previous changes, the description of the menu governor in the documentation does not match the code any more, so update it as appropriate. Fixes: 38f83090f515 ("cpuidle: menu: Remove iowait influence") Fixes: 5484e31bbbff ("cpuidle: menu: Skip tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() call in some cases") Reported-by: Artem Bityutskiy Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

x86: Handle idle=nomwait cmdline properly for x86_idle

2022-06-08T19:58:58Z

When kernel is booted with idle=nomwait do not use MWAIT as the default idle state. If the user boots the kernel with idle=nomwait, it is a clear direction to not use mwait as the default idle state. However, the current code does not take this into consideration while selecting the default idle state on x86. Fix it by checking for the idle=nomwait boot option in prefer_mwait_c1_over_halt(). Also update the documentation around idle=nomwait appropriately.

cpuidle: teo: Use kerneldoc documentation in admin-guide

2021-06-11T16:36:45Z

There are two descriptions of the TEO (Timer Events Oriented) cpuidle governor in the kernel source tree, one in the C file containing its code and one in cpuidle.rst which is part of admin-guide. Instead of trying to keep them both in sync and in order to reduce text duplication, include the governor description from the C file directly into cpuidle.rst. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

cpuidle: record state entry rejection statistics

2020-09-23T12:10:31Z

CPUs may fail to enter the chosen idle state if there was a pending interrupt, causing the cpuidle driver to return an error value. Record that and export it via sysfs along with the other idle state statistics. This could prove useful in understanding behavior of the governor and the system during usecases that involve multiple CPUs.
