Sven van Ashbrook brought a patch to the kernel mailing list that
attempted to change the reporting level of a s0ix entry issue to a
different debugging level so that infastructure used by Google could
better scan logs to catch problems.
This approach was rejected, but during the conversation another
suggestion was made by David E. Box to introduce some infrastructure
into the kernel to report this information.
As it's information that is reported by both AMD and Intel platforms
over s2idle, this seems to make sense.
RFC v1 and v2 introduced two new sysfs files to report the information, but
Rafael pointed out that there was already a file that could be used on
Intel platforms: `low_power_idle_system_residency_us`.
RFC v3 creates this file for AMD platforms and also introduces another file
that can be used to determine total sleep time:
`/sys/power/suspend_stats/last_total`.
With these two files a simple shell script can be run after suspend to
calculate the percentage.
```
#!/bin/sh
total=$(cat /sys/power/suspend_stats/last_total)
hw=$(cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuidle/low_power_idle_system_residency_us)
percent=$(awk -v hw=$hw -v total=$total 'BEGIN { printf "%.2f%%", (hw/total*100) }')
echo "Last ${total}us suspend cycle spent $percent of the time in a hardware sleep state."
```
A sample run on an AMD platform that was just sleeping with this series on
top of 6.1-rc5 shows the following:
# ./compare.sh
Last 15699838us suspend cycle spent 98.63% of the time in a hardware sleep state.
Further discussion to be expected on this series:
* What last_total will represent from the suspend cycle
* Whether the semantics of all platforms will be the same for
`low_power_idle_system_residency_us`
- AMD platforms reset this counter before s2idle entry. Do Intel? Others?
* Maybe the *kernel* should be responsible to do the calculation and export
a `last_hw_sleep_percent` file instead. Platform differences can be
abstracted then within individual drivers.
