From: "Gautham R. Shenoy" <ego@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

On Pseries LPARs, to calculate utilization, we need to know the
[S]PURR ticks when the CPUs were busy or idle.

Via idle_loop_prolog(), idle_loop_epilog(), we track the idle PURR
ticks in the VPA variable "wait_state_cycles". This patch extends the
support to account for the idle SPURR ticks. It also provides an
accessor function to accurately reads idle SPURR ticks.

This samples spurr twice when it could do with just one. I don't know
the performance implications, but will the results be coherent?

We would have taken the snapshot in idle_loop_prolog() just before
entering idle. That fact that the "if" condition is true above in
read_this_idle_spurr() implies that we are reading the idle_spurr
value from an interrupt context and since get_lppaca()->idle == 1, we
haven't yet called idle_loop_epilog(), where we would have updated the
idle_spurr ticks for the last idle period.

Hence, in this function, we first update the idle_spurr accounting
from the time of the last snapshot to now. We update the snapshot to
the current SPURR value so that when we eventually call
idle_loop_epilog(), we will account for the remaining idle duration,
i.e from the read_this_idle_spurr() call to idle_loop_epilog()

The results are therefore coherant, in that we do not perform double
accounting the second time we invoke update_idle_spurr_accounting()
from idle_loop_epilog(), but only add the spurr ticks from
read_this_idle_spurr() to idle_loop_epilog().
