if your system is idle, C0 residency should < 10%.
Here C0 = 32.7%, there must be a workload on the system.

Apparantly, clock should be the top cause for wakeups, not cv_wakeup
if your system is in idle.

You can check the system by "mpstat" or "vmstat" or "prstat" to see the cpu
utilization and what is using CPU.
