Commitd947fb4c96("cpuidle: pseries: Fixup exit latency for CEDE(0)") sets the exit latency of CEDE(0) based on the latency values of the Extended CEDE states advertised by the platform. The values advertised by the platform are in timebase ticks. However the cpuidle framework requires the latency values in microseconds. If the tb-ticks value advertised by the platform correspond to a value smaller than 1us, during the conversion from tb-ticks to microseconds, in the current code, the result becomes zero. This is incorrect as it puts a CEDE state on par with the snooze state. This patch fixes this by rounding up the result obtained while converting the latency value from tb-ticks to microseconds. It also prints a warning in case we discover an extended-cede state with wakeup latency to be 0. In such a case, ensure that CEDE(0) has a non-zero wakeup latency.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
