      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.

      This is a cleanup patch; doesn't change any functionality. Moves
      all cpuidle related code from setup.c to a new file.
