They should never select any idle states with exit latency beyond that limit. +While the above CPU QoS constraints apply to CPU idle time management, user +space may also request a CPU system wakeup latency QoS limit, via the +`cpu_wakeup_latency` file. This QoS constraint is respected when selecting a +suitable idle state for the CPUs, while entering the system-wide suspend-to-idle +sleep state, but also to the regular CPU idle time management. + +Note that, the management of the `cpu_wakeup_latency` file works according to +the 'cpu_dma_latency' file from user space point of view. Moreover, the unit +is also microseconds. Idle States Control Via Kernel Command Line =========================================== |
