From 2e94d1f71f7e4404d997e6fb4f1618aa147d76f9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arjan van de Ven Date: Wed, 10 Sep 2008 16:06:00 -0700 Subject: hrtimer: peek at the timer queue just before going idle As part of going idle, we already look at the time of the next timer event to determine which C-state to select etc. This patch adds functionality that causes the timers that are past their soft expire time, to fire at this time, before we calculate the next wakeup time. This functionality will thus avoid wakeups by running timers before going idle rather than specially waking up for it.
