Add a trace event for cpuidle to track missed (too deep or too shallow) wakeups. After each wakeup, CPUIdle already computes whether the entered state was optimal, above or below the desired one and updates the relevant counters. This patch makes it possible to trace those events in addition to just reading the counters. The patterns of types and percentages of misses across different workloads appear to be very consistent. This makes the trace event very useful for comparing the relative correctness of different CPUIdle governors for different types of workloads, or for finding the optimal governor for a given device.

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.
