Subject: [PATCH 2/4] cpu: expose pm_qos_resume_latency for each cpu

Adding /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpux/power/pm_qos_resume_latency_us for
each of cpus. The pm_qos_resume_latency usage defined in
Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-devices-power

The cpu-dma PM QoS constraint impacts all the cpus in the system. There
is no way to let the user to choose a PM QoS constraint per cpu.

The following patch exposes to the userspace a per cpu based sysfs file
in order to let the userspace to change the value of the PM QoS latency
constraint.

This change is inoperative in its form and the cpuidle governors have to
take into account the per cpu latency constraint in addition to the
global cpu-dma latency constraint in order to operate properly.

In general I think the change makes sense, although it's this last
piece here that I wonder about.

Is it okay that we expose sysfs attributes to userspace that don't
have any effect if they change the values? Perhaps it should be the
responsibility of the menu governor somehow to expose the sysfs nodes
instead? Unless there are some difficulties that prevents us from that
of course.


Kind regards
Uffe
