    powerpc/powernv: Add platform support for stop instruction · bcef83a0
    Shreyas B. Prabhu 提交于
    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.
