The commit 8e92b6605d introduced the TIME_VALID flag for the C1 state

The changelog of this commit mention a potential problem with the menu
governor but not a real observation and I assume it described an old
code as the commit is from 2008.
I have been digging through the code and I didn't find any place
where the
interrupts are enabled before reading the time. Moreover with the
changes
in the meantime, we moved the time measurements in the cpuidle core
as well
as the interrupts enabling making sure the time is measured before the
interrupt are enabled again in a single place.
Remove this test as the time measurement is always valid for this
state.

Well, I need Len to have a look at this.
Hi,
any news on that ?
Thanks

Ok thanks.
If you have time, is it possible also you have a look at the patchset I
sent :
[PATCH V3 0/6] sched: idle: cpuidle: cleanups and fixes
and give your opinion about the poll state Peter and I we were discussing ?
Regards
