This may help performance of a sibling CPU at the expense of a slightly higher wakeup latency for the idle CPU. +The ``table`` argument allows customization of idle state latency and target +residency. The syntax is a comma-separated list of ``name:latency:residency`` +entries, where ``name`` is the idle state name, ``latency`` is the exit latency +in microseconds, and ``residency`` is the target residency in microseconds. It +is not necessary to specify all idle states; only those to be customized. For +example, ``C1:1:3,C6:50:100`` sets the exit latency and target residency for +C1 and C6 to 1/3 and 50/100 microseconds, respectively. Remaining idle states +keep their default values. The driver verifies that deeper idle states have +higher latency and target residency than shallower ones. Also, target +residency cannot be smaller than exit latency. If any of these conditions is +not met, the driver ignores the entire ``table`` parameter. .. _intel-idle-core-and-package-idle-states: |
