Daniel Lezcano b2d3d61adb genirq/timings: Add infrastructure to track the interrupt timings
The interrupt framework gives a lot of information about each interrupt. It
does not keep track of when those interrupts occur though, which is a
prerequisite for estimating the next interrupt arrival for power management
purposes.

Add a mechanism to record the timestamp for each interrupt occurrences in a
per-CPU circular buffer to help with the prediction of the next occurrence
using a statistical model.

Each CPU can store up to IRQ_TIMINGS_SIZE events <irq, timestamp>, the
current value of IRQ_TIMINGS_SIZE is 32.

Each event is encoded into a single u64, where the high 48 bits are used
for the timestamp and the low 16 bits are for the irq number.

A static key is introduced so when the irq prediction is switched off at
runtime, the overhead is near to zero.

It results in most of the code in internals.h for inline reasons and a very
few in the new file timings.c. The latter will contain more in the next patch
which will provide the statistical model for the next event prediction.

help
This option will show the mapping relationship between hardware irq
numbers and Linux irq numbers. The mapping is exposed via debugfs
in the file "irq_domain_mapping".
If you don't know what this means you don't need it.

bool "Support sparse irq numbering" if MAY_HAVE_SPARSE_IRQ
---help---
Sparse irq numbering is useful for distro kernels that want
to define a high CONFIG_NR_CPUS value but still want to have
low kernel memory footprint on smaller machines.
( Sparse irqs can also be beneficial on NUMA boxes, as they spread
out the interrupt descriptors in a more NUMA-friendly way. )
If you don't know what to do here, say N.
config GENERIC_IRQ_DEBUGFS
bool "Expose irq internals in debugfs"
depends on DEBUG_FS
default n
---help---
Exposes internal state information through debugfs. Mostly for
developers and debugging of hard to diagnose interrupt problems.
If you don't know what to do here, say N.
