sched: sched_clock_idle_[sleep|wakeup]_event()
construct a more or less wall-clock time out of sched_clock(), by using ACPI-idle's existing knowledge about how much time we spent idling. This allows the rq clock to work around TSC-stops-in-C2, TSC-gets-corrupted-in-C3 type of problems. ( Besides the scheduler's statistics this also benefits blktrace and printk-timestamps as well. ) Furthermore, the precise before-C2/C3-sleep and after-C2/C3-wakeup callbacks allow the scheduler to get out the most of the period where the CPU has a reliable TSC. This results in slightly more precise task statistics. the ACPI bits were acked by Len. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Acked-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
