/**
* 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.
