    powerpc/powernv/idle: Disable LOSE_FULL_CONTEXT states when stop-api fails · 785a12af
    Gautham R. Shenoy authored
    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: 1e1601b3
    
     ("powerpc/powernv/idle: Restore SPRs for deep idle
    states via stop API.")
