In ttwu_do_wakeup, it will update avg_idle when wakeup from idle. Here
we just reuse this logic to update the poll time. It may be a little
late to update the poll in ttwu_do_wakeup, but the test result shows no
obvious performance gap compare with updating poll in irq handler.

one problem is that idle_stamp only used when using CFS scheduler. But
it is ok since it is the default policy for scheduler and only consider
it should enough.

Same broken SoB chain, and not a useful word on why you need to adjust
this crap to begin with. What you want that poll duration to be related
to is the cost of a VMEXIT/VMENTER cycle, not however long we happened
to be idle.

So no.

Peter,

I think you are right..

IIUC, the time we happened to be idle may contain a chain of VMEXIT/VMENTER cycles, which would be mainly (except the last VMEXIT/VMENTER cycles) for just idle loops. right?

as you mentioned, poll duration to be related to is the cost of __a__ VMEXIT/VMENTER cycle. howerver it is very difficult to measure a VMEXIT/VMENTER cycle accurately from kvm guest, we could find out an approximate one -- dropping the idle loops from the
time we happened to be idle.. make sense?
