Daniel Lezcano e1c9214955 genirq/timings: Add infrastructure for estimating the next interrupt arrival time
An interrupt behaves with a burst of activity with periodic interval of time
followed by one or two peaks of longer interval.

As the time intervals are periodic, statistically speaking they follow a normal
distribution and each interrupts can be tracked individually.

Add a mechanism to compute the statistics on all interrupts, except the
timers which are deterministic from a prediction point of view, as their
expiry time is known.

The goal is to extract the periodicity for each interrupt, with the last
timestamp and sum them, so the next event can be predicted to a certain
extent.

Taking the earliest prediction gives the expected wakeup on the system
(assuming a timer won't expire before).

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
