It is a counter. I looked carefully at all the various slightly differently fcked up implementations and picked the counter based one as it fits all requirements. Thanks, tglx --- Subject: idle: Implement generic idle function From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 21 Mar 2013 22:49:35 +0100 All idle functions in arch/* are more or less the same, plus minus a few bugs and extra instrumentation, tickless support and other optional items. Implement a generic idle function which resembles the functionality found in arch/. Provide weak arch_cpu_idle_* functions which can be overridden by the architecture code if needed.
