The patch titled ACPI C-States: accounting of sleep states has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is acpi-c-states-accounting-of-sleep-states.patch See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: ACPI C-States: accounting of sleep states From: Dominik Brodowski <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Track the actual time spent in C-States (C2 upwards, we can't determine this for C1), not only the number of invocations. This is especially useful for dynamic ticks / "tickless systems", but is also of interest on normal systems, as any interrupt activity leads to C-States being exited, not only the timer interrupt. The time is being measured in PM timer ticks, so an increase by one equals 279 nanoseconds.
