      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.

      cpuidle: Invert CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIME_VALID logic · b82b6cca
      Daniel Lezcano 提交于
      The only place where the time is invalid is when the ACPI_CSTATE_FFH entry
      method is not set. Otherwise for all the drivers, the time can be correctly
      measured.
      
      Instead of duplicating the CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIME_VALID flag in all the drivers
      for all the states, just invert the logic by replacing it by the flag
      CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIME_INVALID, hence we can set this flag only for the acpi idle
      driver, remove the former flag from all the drivers and invert the logic with
      this flag in the different governor.
