[RFC v3] cpuidle : Add support for pseudo-cpuidle driver

From: Abhishek Goel
Date: Mon Nov 09 2020 - 01:21:00 EST


This option adds support for a testing cpuidle driver, which allows
user to define custom idle states with their respective latencies and
residencies. This is useful for testing the behaviour of governors on
customized set of idle states.

This can be used as of now by specifying a customized set of cpuidle
states in the driver by the user. Will add the capability of this
driver to be used as a module in subsequent patches.

Original idea and discussion for this patch can be found at:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/12/17/655

v1->v2 : Changes adapted from reviews of Randy, Dan and Nathan.
There was a divergence from expected behaviour of idle loop
in v1. That has been fixed.
v2->v3 : Added simulated latency while entering into idle states.
