Wysocki Make cpuidle_idle_call() decide whether or not to stop the tick. First, the cpuidle_enter_s2idle() path deals with the tick (and with the entire timekeeping for that matter) by itself and it doesn't need the tick to be stopped beforehand. Second, to address the issue with short idle duration predictions by the idle governor after the tick has been stopped, it will be necessary to change the ordering of cpuidle_select() with respect to tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick(). To prepare for that, put a tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick() call in the same branch in which cpuidle_select() is called. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
