Currently, the powernv cpu-offline function assumes that platform idle
states such as stop on POWER9, winkle/sleep/nap on POWER8 are always
available. On POWER8, it picks nap as the default state if other deep
idle states like sleep/winkle are not available and enabled in the
platform.
On POWER9, nap is not available and all idle states are managed by
STOP instruction. The parameters to the idle state are passed through
processor stop status control register (PSSCR). Hence as such
executing STOP would take parameters from current PSSCR. We do not
want to make any assumptions in kernel on what STOP states and PSSCR
features are configured by the platform.
Ideally platform will configure a good set of stop states that can be
used in the kernel. We would like to start with a clean slate, if the
platform choose to not configure any state or there is an error in
platform firmware that lead to no stop states being configured or
allowed to be requested.
This patch adds a fallback method for CPU-Hotplug that is similar to
snooze loop at idle where the threads are left to spin at low priority
and hence reduce the cycles consumed.
This is a safe fallback mechanism in the case when no stop state would
be requested if the platform firmware did not configure them most
likely due to an error condition.
Requesting a stop state when the platform has not configured them or
enabled them would lead to further error conditions which could be
difficult to debug.

Move the piece of code in powernv/smp.c::pnv_smp_cpu_kill_self() which
transitions the CPU to the deepest available platform idle state to a
new function named pnv_cpu_offline() in powernv/idle.c. The rationale
behind this code movement is that the data required to determine the
deepest available platform state resides in powernv/idle.c.

The power9_idle_stop method currently takes only the requested stop
level as a parameter and picks up the rest of the PSSCR bits from a
hand-coded macro. This is not a very flexible design, especially when
the firmware has the capability to communicate the psscr value and the
mask associated with a particular stop state via device tree.
This patch modifies the power9_idle_stop API to take as parameters the
PSSCR value and the PSSCR mask corresponding to the stop state that
needs to be set. These PSSCR value and mask are respectively obtained
by parsing the "ibm,cpu-idle-state-psscr" and
"ibm,cpu-idle-state-psscr-mask" fields from the device tree.
In addition to this, the patch adds support for handling stop states
for which ESL and EC bits in the PSSCR are zero. As per the
architecture, a wakeup from these stop states resumes execution from
the subsequent instruction as opposed to waking up at the System
Vector.
The older firmware sets only the Requested Level (RL) field in the
psscr and psscr-mask exposed in the device tree. For older firmware
where psscr-mask=0xf, this patch will set the default sane values that
the set for for remaining PSSCR fields (i.e PSLL, MTL, ESL, EC, and
TR). For the new firmware, the patch will validate that the invariants
required by the ISA for the psscr values are maintained by the
firmware.
This skiboot patch that exports fully populated PSSCR values and the
mask for all the stop states can be found here:

POWER ISA v3 defines a new idle processor core mechanism. In summary,
a) new instruction named stop is added. This instruction replaces
instructions like nap, sleep, rvwinkle.
b) new per thread SPR named Processor Stop Status and Control Register
(PSSCR) is added which controls the behavior of stop instruction.
PSSCR layout:
----------------------------------------------------------
| PLS | /// | SD | ESL | EC | PSLL | /// | TR | MTL | RL |
----------------------------------------------------------
0 4 41 42 43 44 48 54 56 60
PSSCR key fields:
Bits 0:3 - Power-Saving Level Status. This field indicates the lowest
power-saving state the thread entered since stop instruction was last
executed.
Bit 42 - Enable State Loss
0 - No state is lost irrespective of other fields
1 - Allows state loss
Bits 44:47 - Power-Saving Level Limit
This limits the power-saving level that can be entered into.
Bits 60:63 - Requested Level
Used to specify which power-saving level must be entered on executing
stop instruction
This patch adds support for stop instruction and PSSCR handling.

pnv_init_idle_states() discovers supported idle states from the
device tree and does the required initialization. Set power_save
function pointer only after this initialization is done
Otherwise on machines which don't support nap, eg. Power9, the kernel
will crash when it tries to nap.

Fastsleep is one of the idle state which cpuidle subsystem currently
uses on power8 machines. In this state L2 cache is brought down to a
threshold voltage. Therefore when the core is in fastsleep, the
communication between L2 and L3 needs to be fenced. But there is a bug
in the current power8 chips surrounding this fencing.
OPAL provides a workaround which precludes the possibility of hitting
this bug. But running with this workaround applied causes checkstop
if any correctable error in L2 cache directory is detected. Hence OPAL
also provides a way to undo the workaround.
In the existing implementation, workaround is applied by the last thread
of the core entering fastsleep and undone by the first thread waking up.
But this has a performance cost. These OPAL calls account for roughly
4000 cycles everytime the core has to enter or wakeup from fastsleep.
This patch introduces a sysfs attribute (fastsleep_workaround_applyonce)
to choose the behavior of this workaround.
By default, fastsleep_workaround_applyonce = 0. In this case, workaround
is applied/undone everytime the core enters/exits fastsleep.
fastsleep_workaround_applyonce = 1. In this case the workaround is
applied once on all the cores and never undone. This can be triggered by
echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/fastsleep_workaround_applyonce
For simplicity this attribute can be modified only once. Implying, once
fastsleep_workaround_applyonce is changed to 1, it cannot be reverted
to the default state.
