  			Subsystem Trace Points: power
  
  The power tracing system captures events related to power transitions
  within the kernel. Broadly speaking there are three major subheadings:
  
    o Power state switch which reports events related to suspend (S-states),
       cpuidle (C-states) and cpufreq (P-states)
    o System clock related changes
    o Power domains related changes and transitions
  
  This document describes what each of the tracepoints is and why they
  might be useful.
  
  Cf. include/trace/events/power.h for the events definitions.

  -----------------
  
  A 'cpu' event class gathers the CPU-related events: cpuidle and
  cpufreq.
  
  cpu_idle		"state=%lu cpu_id=%lu"
  cpu_frequency		"state=%lu cpu_id=%lu"
  
  A suspend event is used to indicate the system going in and out of the
  suspend mode:
  
  machine_suspend		"state=%lu"
  
  
  Note: the value of '-1' or '4294967295' for state means an exit from the current state,
  i.e. trace_cpu_idle(4, smp_processor_id()) means that the system
  enters the idle state 4, while trace_cpu_idle(PWR_EVENT_EXIT, smp_processor_id())
  means that the system exits the previous idle state.
  
  The event which has 'state=4294967295' in the trace is very important to the user
  space tools which are using it to detect the end of the current state, and so to
  correctly draw the states diagrams and to calculate accurate statistics etc.

  2. Clocks events
  ================
  The clock events are used for clock enable/disable and for
  clock rate change.
  
  clock_enable		"%s state=%lu cpu_id=%lu"
  clock_disable		"%s state=%lu cpu_id=%lu"
  clock_set_rate		"%s state=%lu cpu_id=%lu"
  
  The first parameter gives the clock name (e.g. "gpio1_iclk").
  The second parameter is '1' for enable, '0' for disable, the target
  clock rate for set_rate.
  
  3. Power domains events
  =======================
  The power domain events are used for power domains transitions
  
  power_domain_target	"%s state=%lu cpu_id=%lu"
  
  The first parameter gives the power domain name (e.g. "mpu_pwrdm").
  The second parameter is the power domain target state.

  4. PM QoS events
  ================
  The PM QoS events are used for QoS add/update/remove request and for
  target/flags update.
  
  pm_qos_add_request                 "pm_qos_class=%s value=%d"
  pm_qos_update_request              "pm_qos_class=%s value=%d"
  pm_qos_remove_request              "pm_qos_class=%s value=%d"
  pm_qos_update_request_timeout      "pm_qos_class=%s value=%d, timeout_us=%ld"
  
  The first parameter gives the QoS class name (e.g. "CPU_DMA_LATENCY").
  The second parameter is value to be added/updated/removed.
  The third parameter is timeout value in usec.
  
  pm_qos_update_target               "action=%s prev_value=%d curr_value=%d"
  pm_qos_update_flags                "action=%s prev_value=0x%x curr_value=0x%x"
  
  The first parameter gives the QoS action name (e.g. "ADD_REQ").
  The second parameter is the previous QoS value.
  The third parameter is the current QoS value to update.
  
  And, there are also events used for device PM QoS add/update/remove request.
  
  dev_pm_qos_add_request             "device=%s type=%s new_value=%d"
  dev_pm_qos_update_request          "device=%s type=%s new_value=%d"
  dev_pm_qos_remove_request          "device=%s type=%s new_value=%d"
  
  The first parameter gives the device name which tries to add/update/remove
  QoS requests.

  The second parameter gives the request type (e.g. "DEV_PM_QOS_RESUME_LATENCY").
