If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Tero Kristo commit 7467571f4480b273007517b26297c07154c73924 upstream. Cpuidle menu governor is using u32 as a temporary datatype for storing nanosecond values which wrap around at 4.294 seconds. This causes errors in predicted sleep times resulting in higher than should be C state selection and increased power consumption. This also breaks cpuidle state residency statistics.
