[PATCH v2] cpuidle: Add 'above' and 'below' idle state metrics
From: Rafael J. Wysocki
Date: Mon Dec 10 2018 - 06:30:45 EST
From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx>
Add two new metrics for CPU idle states, "above" and "below", to count
the number of times the given state had been asked for (or entered
from the kernel's perspective), but the observed idle duration turned
out to be too short or too long for it (respectively).
These metrics help to estimate the quality of the CPU idle governor
in use.

-> v2: Fix a leftover in the documentation from the previous versions
of the patch and a typo in the changelog.
