Currently the idle injection framework uses the play_idle() function which puts the current CPU in an idle state. The idle state is the deepest one, as specified by the latency constraint when calling the subsequent play_idle_precise() function with the INT_MAX. The idle_injection is used by the cpuidle_cooling device which computes the idle / run duration to mitigate the temperature by injecting idle cycles. The cooling device has no control on the depth of the idle state. Allow finer control of the idle injection mechanism by allowing to specify the latency for the idle state. Thus the cooling device has the ability to have a guarantee on the exit latency of the idle states it is injecting. Acked-by: Rafael J.

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.
