arm64: hikey960: update idle-states
Update entry/exit latency and residency time of hikey960 to use more
realistic figures based on unitary tests done on the platform.
The complete results (in us) :
big cluster
cluster CPU
max entry latency 800 400
max exit latency 2900 550
residency 903Mhz 5000 1500
residency 2363Mhz 0 1500
little cluster
cluster CPU
max entry latency 500 400
max exit latency 1600 650
residency 533Mhz 8000 4500
residency 1844Mhz 0 1500
We can see that the residency time depends of the running OPP which is not
handled for now. Then we also have to take into account the constraint of
a residency time shorter than the tick to get full advantage of idle loop
reordering(tick is stopped if idle duration is higher than tick period).
Finally the selected residency value are :
big cluster
cluster CPU
residency 3700 1500
little cluster
cluster CPU
residency 3500 1500
A simple test with a task waking up every 11.111ms shows improvement:
- 5% a lowest OPP
- 22% at highest OPP
The period has been chosen:
- to be shorter than old cluster residency time and longer than new
residency time of cluster off C-state
- to prevent any sync with tick (4ms) when running tests that can add
some variances between tests
