[PATCH 0/6] Enable support for deep-stop states on POWER9

[Gautham R. Shenoy]

From: "Gautham R. Shenoy" <ego at linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Hi,

This patch series contains some of the fixes required for enabling
support for deep stop states such as STOP4 and STOP11 via CPU-Hotplug.

These fixes mainly ensure that some of the hypervisor resources which
are lost during the deep stop state are correctly restored on a
wakeup.

There are 6 patches in the series.

Patch 1 correctly initializes the core_idle_state_ptr based on the
threads_per_core. core_idle_state_ptr is used to determine if a thread
is the last thread entering a deep stop state or a first thread waking
up from deep stop state in order to save/restore per-core resources.

Patch 2 decouples restoring timebase from restoring hypervisor
resources, as there are stop states which lose hypervisor state but
not the timebase.

Patch 3 saves the LPCR value before executing deep stop and restores
it back to the saved value on the wakeup from stop.

Patch 4 programs the restoration of some of one-time initialized SPRs
via the stop-api.

Patch 5 provides a workaround for a hardware issue on POWER9 DD1 chips
where the PLS value cannot be relied upon on a wakeup from deep stop.

Patch 6 fixes the cpuidle-powernv initialization code to allow deep
states that don't lose timebase.

These patches are based on the Linux upstream and have been tested
with the corresponding skiboot patches in
https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/skiboot/2017-May/007183.html to get
STOP4 working via CPU-Hotplug.
