<title>powerpc/powernv/idle: Disable LOSE_FULL_CONTEXT states when stop-api fails</title>

<id>785a12afdb4a52903447fd890633c82fdda4b6f7</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, we use the opal call opal_slw_set_reg() to inform the
Sleep-Winkle Engine (SLW) to restore the contents of some of the
Hypervisor state on wakeup from deep idle states that lose full
hypervisor context (characterized by the flag
OPAL_PM_LOSE_FULL_CONTEXT).

However, the current code has a bug in that if opal_slw_set_reg()
fails, we don't disable the use of these deep states (winkle on
POWER8, stop4 onwards on POWER9).

This patch fixes this bug by ensuring that if programing the
sleep-winkle engine to restore the hypervisor states in
pnv_save_sprs_for_deep_states() fails, then we exclude such states by
clearing the OPAL_PM_LOSE_FULL_CONTEXT flag from
supported_cpuidle_states. As a result POWER8 will be prevented from
using winkle for CPU-Hotplug, and POWER9 will put the offlined CPUs to
the default stop state when available.

Further, we ensure in the initialization of the cpuidle-powernv driver
to only include those states whose flags are present in
supported_cpuidle_states, thereby skipping OPAL_PM_LOSE_FULL_CONTEXT
states when they have been disabled due to stop-api failure.

Fixes: 1e1601b38e6 ("powerpc/powernv/idle: Restore SPRs for deep idle
states via stop API.")

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "The big ticket items here are the rework of suspend-to-idle in order
  to add proper support for power button wakeup from it on recent Dell
  laptops and the rework of interfaces exporting the current CPU
  frequency on x86.

  In addition to that, support for a few new pieces of hardware is
  added, the PCI/ACPI device wakeup infrastructure is simplified
  significantly and the wakeup IRQ framework is fixed to unbreak the IRQ
  bus locking infrastructure.

  Also, there are some functional improvements for intel_pstate, tools
  updates and small fixes and cleanups all over.

  Specifics:

   - Rework suspend-to-idle to allow it to take wakeup events signaled
     by the EC into account on ACPI-based platforms in order to properly
     support power button wakeup from suspend-to-idle on recent Dell
     laptops (Rafael Wysocki).

     That includes the core suspend-to-idle code rework, support for the
     Low Power S0 _DSM interface, and support for the ACPI INT0002
     Virtual GPIO device from Hans de Goede (required for USB keyboard
     wakeup from suspend-to-idle to work on some machines).

   - Stop trying to export the current CPU frequency via /proc/cpuinfo
     on x86 as that is inaccurate and confusing (Len Brown).

   - Rework the way in which the current CPU frequency is exported by
     the kernel (over the cpufreq sysfs interface) on x86 systems with
     the APERF and MPERF registers by always using values read from
     these registers, when available, to compute the current frequency
     regardless of which cpufreq driver is in use (Len Brown).

   - Rework the PCI/ACPI device wakeup infrastructure to remove the
     questionable and artificial distinction between "devices that can
     wake up the system from sleep states" and "devices that can
     generate wakeup signals in the working state" from it, which allows
     the code to be simplified quite a bit (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Fix the wakeup IRQ framework by making it use SRCU instead of RCU
     which doesn't allow sleeping in the read-side critical sections,
     but which in turn is expected to be allowed by the IRQ bus locking
     infrastructure (Thomas Gleixner).

   - Modify some computations in the intel_pstate driver to avoid
     rounding errors resulting from them (Srinivas Pandruvada).

   - Reduce the overhead of the intel_pstate driver in the HWP
     (hardware-managed P-states) mode and when the "performance" P-state
     selection algorithm is in use by making it avoid registering
     scheduler callbacks in those cases (Len Brown).

   - Rework the energy_performance_preference sysfs knob in intel_pstate
     by changing the values that correspond to different symbolic hint
     names used by it (Len Brown).

   - Make it possible to use more than one cpuidle driver at the same
     time on ARM (Daniel Lezcano).

   - Make it possible to prevent the cpuidle menu governor from using
     the 0 state by disabling it via sysfs (Nicholas Piggin).

   - Add support for FFH (Fixed Functional Hardware) MWAIT in ACPI C1 on
     AMD systems (Yazen Ghannam).

   - Make the CPPC cpufreq driver take the lowest nonlinear performance
     information into account (Prashanth Prakash).

   - Add support for hi3660 to the cpufreq-dt driver, fix the imx6q
     driver and clean up the sfi, exynos5440 and intel_pstate drivers
     (Colin Ian King, Krzysztof Kozlowski, Octavian Purdila, Rafael
     Wysocki, Tao Wang).

   - Fix a few minor issues in the generic power domains (genpd)
     framework and clean it up somewhat (Krzysztof Kozlowski, Mikko
     Perttunen, Viresh Kumar).

   - Fix a couple of minor issues in the operating performance points
     (OPP) framework and clean it up somewhat (Viresh Kumar).

   - Fix a CONFIG dependency in the hibernation core and clean it up
     slightly (Balbir Singh, Arvind Yadav, BaoJun Luo).

   - Add rk3228 support to the rockchip-io adaptive voltage scaling
     (AVS) driver (David Wu).

   - Fix an incorrect bit shift operation in the RAPL power capping
     driver (Adam Lessnau).

   - Add support for the EPP field in the HWP (hardware managed
     P-states) control register, HWP.EPP, to the x86_energy_perf_policy
     tool and update msr-index.h with HWP.EPP values (Len Brown).

   - Fix some minor issues in the turbostat tool (Len Brown).

   - Add support for AMD family 0x17 CPUs to the cpupower tool and fix a
     minor issue in it (Sherry Hurwitz).

   - Assorted cleanups, mostly related to the constification of some
     data structures (Arvind Yadav, Joe Perches, Kees Cook, Krzysztof
     Kozlowski)"

The menu driver does not allow state0 to be disabled completely.
If it is disabled but other enabled states don't meet latency
requirements, it is still used.

Fix this by starting with the first enabled idle state. Fall back
to state 0 if no idle states are enabled (arguably this should be
-EINVAL if it is attempted, but this is the minimal fix).

A memory barrier is not required after the task wakes up,
only if we clear the polling flag before waking. The case
where we have work to do is the important one, so optimise
for it.

where we have work to do is the important one, so optimise
for it.

local_irq_enable can cause interrupts to be taken which could
take significant amount of processing time. The idle process
should set its polling flag before this, so another process that
wakes it during this time will not have to send an IPI.

Expand the TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG coverage to as large as possible.

<title>ARM: cpuidle: Support asymmetric idle definition</title>

Some hardware have clusters with different idle states. The current code does
not support this and fails as it expects all the idle states to be identical.

Because of this, the Mediatek mtk8173 had to create the same idle state for a
big.Little system and now the Hisilicon 960 is facing the same situation.

Solve this by simply assuming the multiple driver will be needed for all the
platforms using the ARM generic cpuidle driver which makes sense because of the
different topologies we can support with a single kernel for ARM32 or ARM64.

Every CPU has its own driver, so every single CPU can specify in the DT the
idle states.

This simple approach allows to support the future dynamIQ system, current SMP
and HMP.

Tested on:
 - 96boards: Hikey 620
 - 96boards: Hikey 960
 - 96boards: dragonboard410c
 - Mediatek 8173

Pick up the waitqueue related renames - it didn't get much feedback,
so it appears to be uncontroversial. Famous last words? ;-)

This simplifies the asm and fixes irq-off tracing over sleep
instructions.

Also move powersave_nap check for POWER8 into C code, and move
PSSCR register value calculation for POWER9 into C.
