Snooze is a poll idle state in powernv and pseries platforms. Snooze
has a timeout so that if a CPU stays in snooze for more than target
residency of the next available idle state, then it would exit
thereby giving chance to the cpuidle governor to re-evaluate and
promote the CPU to a deeper idle state. Therefore whenever snooze
exits due to this timeout, its last_residency will be target_residency
of the next deeper state.
Commit e93e59ce5b "cpuidle: Replace ktime_get() with local_clock()"
changed the math around last_residency calculation. Specifically,
while converting last_residency value from nano- to microseconds, it
carries out right shift by 10. Because of that, in snooze timeout
exit scenarios last_residency calculated is roughly 2.3% less than
target_residency of the next available state. This pattern is picked
up by get_typical_interval() in the menu governor and therefore
expected_interval in menu_select() is frequently less than the
target_residency of any state other than snooze.
Due to this we are entering snooze at a higher rate, thereby
affecting the single thread performance.
Fix this by using more precise division via ktime_us_delta().
