[Skiboot] [PATCH v2 09/15] opal/hmi: Fix soft lockups during TOD errors

From: Mahesh Salgaonkar <mahesh at linux.vnet.ibm.com>

There are some TOD errors which do not affect working of TOD and TB. They
stay in valid state. Hence we don't need rendez vous for TOD errors that
does not affect TB working.

TOD errors that affects TOD/TB will report a global error on TFMR[44]
alongwith bit 51, and they will go in rendez vous path as expected.

But the TOD errors that does not affect TB register sets only TFMR bit 51.
The TFMR bit 51 is cleared when any single thread clears the TOD error.
Once cleared, the bit 51 is reflected to all the cores on that chip. Any
thread that reads the TFMR register after the error is cleared will see
TFMR bit 51 reset. Hence the threads that see TFMR[51]=1, falls through
rendez-vous path and threads that see TFMR[51]=0, returns doing
nothing. This ends up in a soft lockups in host kernel.

This patch fixes this issue by not considering TOD interrupt (TFMR[51])
as a core-global error and hence avoiding rendez-vous path completely.
Instead threads that see TFMR[51]=1 will now take different path that
just do the TOD error recovery.
