This patch has instrumentation code for measuring latencies for various CPUIdle C states for OMAP. Idea here is to capture the timestamp at various phases of CPU Idle and then compute the sw latency for various c states. For OMAP, 32k clock is chosen as reference clock this as is an always on clock. wkup domain memory (scratchpad memory) is used for storing timestamps. One can see the worstcase latencies in below sysfs entries (after enabling CONFIG_CPU_IDLE_PROF in .config). This information can be used to correctly configure cpu idle latencies for various C states after adding HW latencies for each of these sw latencies. /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpuidle/state<n>/actual_latency /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpuidle/state<n>/sleep_latency /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpuidle/state<n>/wkup_latency
THis patch is tested on OMAP ZOOM3 using kevin's pm branch.

Vishwa,
You should perhaps cc Len Brown and LKML for V2 to get acceptance for the new counters in cpuidle
