The integer division introduces a loss of- * precision but with an acceptable error margin regarding the results- * we would have with the double floating precision: we are dealing- * with nanosec, so big numbers, consequently the mantisse is- * negligeable, especially when converting the time in usec- * afterwards.- *- * The computation happens at idle time. When the CPU is not idle, the- * interrupts' timestamps are stored in the circular buffer, when the- * CPU goes idle and this routine is called, all the buffer's values- * are injected in the statistical model continuying to extend the- * statistics from the previous busy-idle cycle.- *- * The observations showed a device will trigger a burst of periodic- * interrupts followed by one or two peaks of longer time, for- * instance when a SD card device flushes its cache, then the periodic- * intervals occur again.
