From: Stephane Eranian Date: Tue, 13 Feb 2007 12:26:22 +0000 (+0100) Subject: [PATCH] i386: add idle notifier X-Git-Tag: v2.6.21-rc1~184^2~59 X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2ff2d3d74705d34ab71b21f54634fcf50d57bdd5;p=linux-2.6 [PATCH] i386: add idle notifier Add a notifier mechanism to the low level idle loop. You can register a callback function which gets invoked on entry and exit from the low level idle loop. The low level idle loop is defined as the polling loop, low-power call, or the mwait instruction. Interrupts processed by the idle thread are not considered part of the low level loop. The notifier can be used to measure precisely how much is spent in useless execution (or low power mode). The perfmon subsystem uses it to turn on/off monitoring.
