Gautham R. Shenoy 09206b600c powernv: Pass PSSCR value and mask to power9_idle_stop
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:

[Optimize the number of instructions before entering STOP with
ESL=EC=0, validate the PSSCR values provided by the firimware
maintains the invariants required as per the ISA suggested by Balbir
Singh]

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
