From: venkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com Date: Mon, 4 Aug 2008 18:59:12 +0000 (-0700) Subject: [CPUFREQ][6/6] cpufreq: Add idle microaccounting in ondemand governor X-Git-Tag: v2.6.28-rc1~722^2~2 X-Git-Url: http://ftp.safe.ca/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=808009131046b62ac434dbc796c0fe8accaab415;p=safe%2Fjmp%2Flinux-2.6 [CPUFREQ][6/6] cpufreq: Add idle microaccounting in ondemand governor Use get_cpu_idle_time_us() to get micro-accounted idle information. This enables ondemand to get more accurate idle and busy timings than the jiffy based calculation. As a result, we can decrease the ondemand safety gaurd band from 80-10 to 95-3. Results in more aggressive power savings.
