<id>83dac59409387789b88bed40b1be86a8abc572be</id>
<content type='text'>
Earlier without cpuidle framework on pseries, the native arch
idle routine comprised of both snooze and nap
states.  smt_snooze_delay variable was used to delay
the idle process entry to deeper idle state like  nap.
With the coming of cpuidle, this arch specific idle was replaced
by two different idle routines, one for supporting snooze and other
for nap. This enabled addition of more
low level idle states on pseries in the future.

On adopting the generic cpuidle framework for POWER systems,
the decision of which idle state to choose from,  given a predicted
idle time is taken by the menu governor based on
target_residency and  exit_latency of the idle states.
target_residency is the minimum time to be resident in that idle state.
Exit_latency is time taken to exit out of idle state.
Deeper the idle state, both the target residency and exit latency
would be higher.

In the current design, smt_snooze_delay is used as target_residency
for the  snooze state which is incorrect, as it is not the
minimum but the maximum duration to be in snooze state.
This would  result in the governor in taking bad decision,
as presently target_residency of nap &lt; target_residency of snooze
inspite of nap being deeper idle state.

This patch aims to fix this problem by replacing the smt_snooze_delay loop
in snooze state, with the need_resched()  as the governor is aware of
entry and exit of various idle transitions based on which
next idle time prediction.

The governor is intelligent enough to determine the idle state the needs to
be transitioned to and maintains a whole of heuristics including
io load, previous idle states predictions etc for the same, based on
which idle state entry decision is taken.

With this fix, of setting target_residency of snooze to 0
					     nap to smt_snooze_delay
if the predicted idle time is less
than smt_snooze_delay (target_residency of nap)
value governor would pick snooze state, else nap. This adhers to the
previous native idle design.

smt_snooze_delay was designed to  delay idle loop's nap entry
in the native idle code before it got  ported over to use as part of
the cpuidle framework.

A -ve value  assigned to smt_snooze_delay should result in
busy looping, in other words disabling the entry to nap state.

	- https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2010-May/082450.html

This particular functionality can be achieved currently by
echo 1 &gt; /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/state1/disable
but it is broken when one assigns -ve value to  the smt_snooze_delay
variable either via sysfs entry or ppc64_cpu util.

This patch aims to fix this, by disabling nap state when smt_snooze_delay
variable is set to -ve value.

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.

 "The last bits of infrastructure for kernel_thread() et.al., with
  alpha/arm/x86 use of those.  Plus sanitizing the asm glue and
  do_notify_resume() on alpha, fixing the "disabled irq while running
  task_work stuff" breakage there.

  At that point the rest of kernel_thread/kernel_execve/sys_execve work
  can be done independently for different architectures.  The only
  pending bits that do depend on having all architectures converted are
  restrictred to fs/* and kernel/* - that'll obviously have to wait for
  the next cycle.

  I thought we'd have to wait for all of them done before we start
  eliminating the longjump-style insanity in kernel_execve(), but it
  turned out there's a very simple way to do that without flagday-style
  changes."

Pull pile 2 of execve and kernel_thread unification work from Al Viro:
 "Stuff in there: kernel_thread/kernel_execve/sys_execve conversions for
  several more architectures plus assorted signal fixes and cleanups.

  There'll be more (in particular, real fixes for the alpha
  do_notify_resume() irq mess)..."

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal: (43 commits)
  alpha: don't open-code trace_report_syscall_{enter,exit}
  Uninclude linux/freezer.h
  m32r: trim masks
  avr32: trim masks
  tile: don't bother with SIGTRAP in setup_frame
  microblaze: don't bother with SIGTRAP in setup_rt_frame()
  mn10300: don't bother with SIGTRAP in setup_frame()
  frv: no need to raise SIGTRAP in setup_frame()
  x86: get rid of duplicate code in case of CONFIG_VM86
  unicore32: remove pointless test
  h8300: trim _TIF_WORK_MASK
  parisc: decide whether to go to slow path (tracesys) based on thread flags
  parisc: don't bother looping in do_signal()
  parisc: fix double restarts
  bury the rest of TIF_IRET
  sanitize tsk_is_polling()
  bury _TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK
  unicore32: unobfuscate _TIF_WORK_MASK
  mips: NOTIFY_RESUME is not needed in TIF masks
  mips: merge the identical "return from syscall" per-ABI code
  ...
