When giving up on making a high-confidence prediction, get_typical_interval() always returns UINT_MAX which means that the next idle interval prediction will be based entirely on the time till the next timer. However, the information represented by the most recent intervals may not be completely useless in those cases. Namely, the largest recent idle interval is an upper bound on the recently observed idle duration, so it is reasonable to assume that the next idle duration is unlikely to exceed it. Moreover, this is still true after eliminating the suspected outliers if the sample set still under consideration is at least as large as 50% of the maximum sample set size. Accordingly, make get_typical_interval() return the current maximum recent interval value in that case instead of UINT_MAX. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

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 reStructuredText 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.
