From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wyso...@intel.com> Add two new metrics for CPU idle states, "high" and "low", to count the number of times the given state had been asked for (or entered from the kernel's perspective), but the observed idle duration turned out to be too high or too low for it (respectively).
These mertics help to estimat the quality of the CPU idle governor in use. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
