[PATCH 4/9] powerpc/powernv/cpuidle: Add workaround to enable fastsleep

From: Preeti U Murthy <preeti at linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Fast sleep is an idle state, where the core and the L1 and L2
caches are brought down to a threshold voltage. This also means that
the communication between L2 and L3 caches have to be fenced. However
the current P8 chips have a bug wherein this fencing between L2 and
L3 caches get delayed by a cpu cycle. This can delay L3 response to
the other cpus if they request for data during this time. Thus they
would fetch the same data from the memory which could lead to data
corruption if L3 cache is not flushed.

The cpu idle states save power at a core level and not at a thread level.
Hence powersavings is based on the shallowest idle state that a thread
of a core is in. The above issue in fastsleep will arise only when
all the threads in a core either enter fastsleep or some of them enter
any deeper idle states, with only a few being in fastsleep. This patch
therefore implements a workaround this bug  by ensuring
that, each time a cpu goes to fastsleep, it checks if it is the last
thread in the core to enter fastsleep. If so, it needs to make an opal
call to get around the above mentioned fastsleep problem in the hardware
before issuing the sleep instruction.

Similarly when a thread in a core comes out of fastsleep, it needs
to verify if its the first thread in the core to come out of fastsleep
and issue the opal call to revert the changes made while entering
fastsleep.

For the same reason mentioned above we need to take care of offline threads
as well since we allow them to enter fastsleep and with support for
deep winkle soon coming in they can enter winkle as well.  We therefore
ensure that even offline threads make the above mentioned opal calls
similarly, so that as long as the threads in a core are in and
idle state >= fastsleep, we have the workaround in place. Whenever a
thread comes out of either of these states, it needs to verify if the
opal call has been made and if so it will revert it. For now this patch
ensures that offline threads enter fastsleep.

We need to be able to synchronize the cpus in a core which are entering
and exiting fastsleep so as to ensure that the last thread in the core
to enter fastsleep and the first to exit fastsleep *only* issue the opal
call. To do so, we need a per-core lock and counter. The counter is
required to keep track of the number of threads in a core which are in
idle state >= fastsleep. To make the implementation of this simple, we
introduce a per-cpu lock and counter and every thread always takes the
primary thread's lock, modifies the primary thread's counter. This
effectively makes them per-core entities.

But the workaround is abstracted in the powernv core code and neither
the hotplug path nor the cpuidle driver need to bother about it. All
they need to know is if fastsleep, with error or no error is present as
an idle state.
