/**
* get_cpu_idle_time_us - get the total idle time of a cpu
* @cpu: CPU number to query
* @last_update_time: variable to store update time in
*
* Return the cummulative idle time (since boot) for a given
* CPU, in microseconds. The idle time returned includes
* the iowait time (unlike what "top" and co report).
*
* This time is measured via accounting rather than sampling,
* and is as accurate as ktime_get() is.
*
* This function returns -1 if NOHZ is not enabled.
