/**
- * irqs_update - update the irq timing statistics with a new timestamp
- *
- * @irqs: an irqt_stat struct pointer
- * @ts: the new timestamp
- *
- * The statistics are computed online, in other words, the code is
- * designed to compute the statistics on a stream of values rather
- * than doing multiple passes on the values to compute the average,
- * then the variance. 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. A one second inactivity period resets the
- * stats, that gives us the certitude the statistical values won't
- * exceed 1x10^9, thus the computation won't overflow.
- *
- * Basically, the purpose of the algorithm is to watch the periodic
- * interrupts and eliminate the peaks.
- *
- * An interrupt is considered periodically stable if the interval of
- * its occurences follow the normal distribution, thus the values
- * comply with:
- *
- * avg - 3 x stddev < value < avg + 3 x stddev
- *
- * Which can be simplified to:
- *
- * -3 x stddev < value - avg < 3 x stddev
- *
- * abs(value - avg) < 3 x stddev
- *
- * In order to save a costly square root computation, we use the
- * variance. For the record, stddev = sqrt(variance). The equation
- * above becomes:
- *
- * abs(value - avg) < 3 x sqrt(variance)
- *
- * And finally we square it:
- *
- * (value - avg) ^ 2 < (3 x sqrt(variance)) ^ 2
- *
- * (value - avg) x (value - avg) < 9 x variance
- *
- * Statistically speaking, any values out of this interval is
- * considered as an anomaly and is discarded. However, a normal
- * distribution appears when the number of samples is 30 (it is the
- * rule of thumb in statistics, cf. "30 samples" on Internet). When
- * there are three consecutive anomalies, the statistics are resetted.
