-What: /sys/devices/.../power/pm_qos_remote_wakeup
-Date: September 2012
-Contact: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@rjwysocki.net>
-Description:
- The /sys/devices/.../power/pm_qos_remote_wakeup attribute
- is used for manipulating the PM QoS "remote wakeup required"
- flag. If set, this flag indicates to the kernel that the
- device is a source of user events that have to be signaled from
- its low-power states.
-
- Not all drivers support this attribute. If it isn't supported,
- it is not present.
-
- This attribute has no effect on system-wide suspend/resume and
- hibernation.

+To enumerate platform Low Power Idle states, Intel platforms are using
+“Low Power Idle Table” (LPIT). More details about this table can be
+downloaded from:
+http://www.uefi.org/sites/default/files/resources/Intel_ACPI_Low_Power_S0_Idle.pdf
+
+Residencies for each low power state can be read via FFH
+(Function fixed hardware) or a memory mapped interface.
+
+On platforms supporting S0ix sleep states, there can be two types of
+residencies:
+- CPU PKG C10 (Read via FFH interface)
+- Platform Controller Hub (PCH) SLP_S0 (Read via memory mapped interface)
+
+The following attributes are added dynamically to the cpuidle
+sysfs attribute group:
+ /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuidle/low_power_idle_cpu_residency_us
+ /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuidle/low_power_idle_system_residency_us
+
+The "low_power_idle_cpu_residency_us" attribute shows time spent
+by the CPU package in PKG C10
+
+The "low_power_idle_system_residency_us" attribute shows SLP_S0
+residency, or system time spent with the SLP_S0# signal asserted.
+This is the lowest possible system power state, achieved only when CPU is in
+PKG C10 and all functional blocks in PCH are in a low power state.
