Remove the redundant target residency initialisation in pseries_cpuidle_driver_init(). This is currently over-writing the residency time updated as part of the static table, resulting in all the idle states having the same target residency of 100us which is incorrect. This may result in the menu governor making wrong state decisions. Signed-off-by: NDeepthi Dharwar <deepthi@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

Currently the call to pseries_notify_cpuidle_add_cpu(), that takes action on the cpuidle front when a cpu is added/removed is being made from smp_xics_setup_cpu(). This caused lockdep issues as reported https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/5/17/2 On addition of each cpu, resources were cleared and re-allocated each time, all in critical section as part of start_secondary() call were interrupts are disabled. To resolve this issue, the pseries_notify_cpuidle_add_cpu() call is is being replaced by a hotplug notifier which would prevent cpuidle resources from being released and allocated each time cpu is onlined in the critical code path. It was fixed in https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/5/18/174. Also it is essential to call cpuidle_enable/disable_device between cpuidle_pause_and_lock() and cpuidle_resume_and_unlock() when used externally to avoid race conditions. Add support for CPU_ONLINE_FROZEN and CPU_DEAD_FROZEN as part of hotplug notify event for pseries_idle and unregister hotplug notifier while exiting out. The above mentioned issues are fixed as part of this patch. Signed-off-by: NDeepthi Dharwar <deepthi@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

Looks like we still have issues with pSeries and Cell idle code vs. the lazy irq state. In fact, the reset fixes that went upstream are exposing the problem more by causing BUG_ON() to trigger (which this patch turns into a WARN_ON instead). We need to be careful when using a variant of low power state that has the side effect of turning interrupts back on, to properly set all the SW & lazy state to look as if everything is enabled before we enter the low power state with MSR:EE off as we will return with MSR:EE on. If not, we have a discrepancy of state which can cause things to go very wrong later on. This patch moves the logic into a helper and uses it from the pseries and cell idle code. The power4/970 idle code already got things right (in assembly even !) so I'm not touching it. The power7 "bare metal" idle code is subtly different and correct. Remains PA6T and some hypervisor based Cell platforms which have questionable code in there, but they are mostly dead platforms so I'll fix them when I manage to get final answers from the respective maintainers about how the low power state actually works on them.

The following patch is to remove the pseries_notify_add_cpu() call and replace it by a hot plug notifier. This would prevent cpuidle resources being released and allocated each time cpu comes online on pseries. The earlier design was causing a lockdep problem in start_secondary as reported on this thread -https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/5/17/2 This applies on 3.4-rc7 Signed-off-by: NDeepthi Dharwar <deepthi@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

Commit f948501b ("Make hard_irq_disable() actually hard-disable interrupts") caused check_and_cede_processor to stop working. ->irq_happened will never be zero right after a hard_irq_disable so the compiler removes the call to cede_processor completely. The bug was introduced back in the lazy interrupt handling rework of 3.4 but was hidden until recently because hard_irq_disable did nothing. This issue will eventually appear in 3.4 stable since the hard_irq_disable fix is marked stable, so mark this one for stable too.

The current implementation of lazy interrupts handling has some issues that this tries to address. We don't do the various workarounds we need to do when re-enabling interrupts in some cases such as when returning from an interrupt and thus we may still lose or get delayed decrementer or doorbell interrupts. The current scheme also makes it much harder to handle the external "edge" interrupts provided by some BookE processors when using the EPR facility (External Proxy) and the Freescale Hypervisor. Additionally, we tend to keep interrupts hard disabled in a number of cases, such as decrementer interrupts, external interrupts, or when a masked decrementer interrupt is pending. This is sub-optimal. This is an attempt at fixing it all in one go by reworking the way we do the lazy interrupt disabling from the ground up. The base idea is to replace the "hard_enabled" field with a "irq_happened" field in which we store a bit mask of what interrupt occurred while soft-disabled. When re-enabling, either via arch_local_irq_restore() or when returning from an interrupt, we can now decide what to do by testing bits in that field. We then implement replaying of the missed interrupts either by re-using the existing exception frame (in exception exit case) or via the creation of a new one from an assembly trampoline (in the arch_local_irq_enable case). This removes the need to play with the decrementer to try to create fake interrupts, among others. In addition, this adds a few refinements: - We no longer hard disable decrementer interrupts that occur while soft-disabled. We now simply bump the decrementer back to max (on BookS) or leave it stopped (on BookE) and continue with hard interrupts enabled, which means that we'll potentially get better sample quality from performance monitor interrupts. - Timer, decrementer and doorbell interrupts now hard-enable shortly after removing the source of the interrupt, which means they no longer run entirely hard disabled. Again, this will improve perf sample quality. - On Book3E 64-bit, we now make the performance monitor interrupt act as an NMI like Book3S (the necessary C code for that to work appear to already be present in the FSL perf code, notably calling nmi_enter instead of irq_enter). (This also fixes a bug where BookE perfmon interrupts could clobber r14 ... oops) - We could make "masked" decrementer interrupts act as NMIs when doing timer-based perf sampling to improve the sample quality.

This patch makes pseries_idle_driver not to be registered when power_save=off kernel boot option is specified. The cpuidle_disable variable used here is similar to its usage on x86. If cpuidle_disable is set then sysfs entries for cpuidle framework are not created and the required drivers are not loaded.

This patch implements a back-end cpuidle driver for pSeries based on pseries_dedicated_idle_loop and pseries_shared_idle_loop routines. The driver is built only if CONFIG_CPU_IDLE is set. This cpuidle driver uses global registration of idle states and not per-cpu.
