      powerpc/powernv: Introduce sysfs control for fastsleep workaround behavior · 5703d2f4
      Shreyas B. Prabhu 提交于
      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.

      powernv/powerpc: Add winkle support for offline cpus · 77b54e9f
      Shreyas B. Prabhu 提交于
      Winkle is a deep idle state supported in power8 chips. A core enters
      winkle when all the threads of the core enter winkle. In this state
      power supply to the entire chiplet i.e core, private L2 and private L3
      is turned off. As a result it gives higher powersavings compared to
      sleep.
      
      But entering winkle results in a total hypervisor state loss. Hence the
      hypervisor context has to be preserved before entering winkle and
      restored upon wake up.
      
      Power-on Reset Engine (PORE) is a dedicated engine which is responsible
      for powering on the chiplet during wake up. It can be programmed to
      restore the register contests of a few specific registers. This patch
      uses PORE to restore register state wherever possible and uses stack to
      save and restore rest of the necessary registers.
      
      With hypervisor state restore things fall under three categories-
      per-core state, per-subcore state and per-thread state. To manage this,
      extend the infrastructure introduced for sleep. Mainly we add a paca
      variable subcore_sibling_mask. Using this and the core_idle_state we can
      distingush first thread in core and subcore.

      powernv/cpuidle: Redesign idle states management · 7cba160a
      Shreyas B. Prabhu 提交于
      Deep idle states like sleep and winkle are per core idle states. A core
      enters these states only when all the threads enter either the
      particular idle state or a deeper one. There are tasks like fastsleep
      hardware bug workaround and hypervisor core state save which have to be
      done only by the last thread of the core entering deep idle state and
      similarly tasks like timebase resync, hypervisor core register restore
      that have to be done only by the first thread waking up from these
      state.
      
      The current idle state management does not have a way to distinguish the
      first/last thread of the core waking/entering idle states. Tasks like
      timebase resync are done for all the threads. This is not only is
      suboptimal, but can cause functionality issues when subcores and kvm is
      involved.
      
      This patch adds the necessary infrastructure to track idle states of
      threads in a per-core structure. It uses this info to perform tasks like
      fastsleep workaround and timebase resync only once per core.

      powerpc/powernv: Enable Offline CPUs to enter deep idle states · 8eb8ac89
      Shreyas B. Prabhu 提交于
      The secondary threads should enter deep idle states so as to gain maximum
      powersavings when the entire core is offline. To do so the offline path
      must be made aware of the available deepest idle state. Hence probe the
      device tree for the possible idle states in powernv core code and
      expose the deepest idle state through flags.
      
      Since the  device tree is probed by the cpuidle driver as well, move
      the parameters required to discover the idle states into an appropriate
      common place to both the driver and the powernv core code.
      
      Another point is that fastsleep idle state may require workarounds in
      the kernel to function properly. This workaround is introduced in the
      subsequent patches. However neither the cpuidle driver or the hotplug
      path need be bothered about this workaround.
      
      They will be taken care of by the core powernv code.

      rtc/tpo: Driver to support rtc and wakeup on PowerNV platform · 16b1d26e
      Neelesh Gupta 提交于
      The patch implements the OPAL rtc driver that binds with the rtc
      driver subsystem. The driver uses the platform device infrastructure
      to probe the rtc device and register it to rtc class framework. The
      'wakeup' is supported depending upon the property 'has-tpo' present
      in the OF node. It provides a way to load the generic rtc driver in
      in the absence of an OPAL driver.
      
      The patch also moves the existing OPAL rtc get/set time interfaces to the
      new driver and exposes the necessary OPAL calls using EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL.

      powerpc/powernv: Remove OPAL v1 takeover · e2500be2
      Michael Ellerman 提交于
      In commit 27f44888 "Add OPAL takeover from PowerVM" we added support
      for "takeover" on OPAL v1 machines.
      
      This was a mode of operation where we would boot under pHyp, and query
      for the presence of OPAL. If detected we would then do a special
      sequence to take over the machine, and the kernel would end up running
      in hypervisor mode.
      
      OPAL v1 was never a supported product, and was never shipped outside
      IBM. As far as we know no one is still using it.
      
      Newer versions of OPAL do not use the takeover mechanism. Although the
      query for OPAL should be harmless on machines with newer OPAL, we have
      seen a machine where it causes a crash in Open Firmware.
      
      The code in early_init_devtree() to copy boot_command_line into cmd_line
      was added in commit 817c21ad "Get kernel command line accross OPAL
      takeover", and AFAIK is only used by takeover, so should also be
      removed.
