Rafael J. Wysocki 32b91ca153 cpuidle: menu: Allow tick to be stopped if PM QoS is used 
After commit 554c8aa8ec ("sched: idle: Select idle state before
stopping the tick") the menu governor prevents the scheduler tick from
being stopped (unless stopped already) if there is a PM QoS latency
constraint for the given CPU and the target residency of the deepest
idle state matching that constraint is below the tick boundary.

However, that is problematic if CPUs with PM QoS latency constraints
are idle for long times, because it effectively causes the tick to
run on them all the time which is wasteful.  [It is also confusing
and questionable if they are full dynticks CPUs.]

To address that issue, make the menu governor allow the tick to be
stopped only if the idle duration predicted by it is beyond the tick
boundary, except when the shallowest idle state is selected upfront
and it is not a "polling" one.

Fixes: 554c8aa8ec ("sched: idle: Select idle state before stopping the tick")

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
