Ulf Hansson e94999688e PM / Domains: Add genpd governor for CPUs
After some preceding changes, PM domains managed by genpd may contain
CPU devices, so idle state residency values should be taken into
account during the state selection process. [The residency value is
the minimum amount of time to be spent by a CPU (or a group of CPUs)
in an idle state in order to save more energy than could be saved
by picking up a shallower idle state.]

For this purpose, add a new genpd governor, pm_domain_cpu_gov, to be
used for selecting idle states of PM domains with CPU devices attached
either directly or through subdomains.

The new governor computes the minimum expected idle duration for all
online CPUs attached to a PM domain and its subdomains.  Next, it
finds the deepest idle state whose target residency is within the
expected idle duration and selects it as the target idle state of
the domain.

It should be noted that the minimum expected idle duration computation
is based on the closest timer event information stored in the per-CPU
variables cpuidle_devices for all of the CPUs in the domain.  That
needs to be revisited in future, as obviously there are other reasons
why a CPU may be woken up from idle.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
