What you said is also OK. But it is not easy to detect whether the
result by using ACPI PM timer is not reasonable. If doing so, another
clocksource(for example: hpet) should also be used in cpuidle driver and
compared with ACPI PM timer. (Sometimes the ACPI PM timer will be used
as the current clocksource. In such case it will be duplicated).
So the current clocksource will be used to count the C-state time
instead of ACPI PM timer. If the current clocksource is changed by user,
OS will select the reliable clocksource as the current one.
Best regards.
