Hi there,

I am using powertop to test wakeup of a driver and found the sum of top
causes for wakeups is much larger than Wakeups-from-idle per second. It's
not consistant with FAQ.
Which result is more accurate?

FAQ:

*Should "Wakeups-from-idle per second" equal the sum of the
wakeups/second/core listed on the "Top causes for wakeups" list?*

It should be higher, since there are some causes for wakeups that are nearly
impossible to detect by software.

Test Log:

 Wakeups-from-idle per second : 342.8

  41.5% (327.5)             vp : hrtimer_start_range_ns (hrtimer_wakeup)
  29.8% (235.2)     <kernel core> : hrtimer_start_range_ns
(tick_sched_timer)
  10.4% ( 82.4)      <kernel IPI> : Rescheduling interrupts
   5.8% ( 46.2)   USB device 1-2.4 : OnlyDisk (Netac)
   3.8% ( 30.0)       <interrupt> : prk
   3.3% ( 25.7)       <interrupt> : ehci_hcd:usb1
