/**
 * 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.
