v1:
This is based on initial work by Ryan Grimm with additions & cleanups by
benh.
v2:
This includes forward porting to latest upstream and fixing 'make check'.
Some notes:
- This currently needs a special modified HostBoot
- It's missing the "ibm,thread-groups" property to inform Linux about big cores
- We need to look at HMI issues, as in some cases TFAC errors get only sent to
one half but both half need to rendez-vous, so we need to "trigger" an error
in the other half as well.
v3:
- Drop the HDAT workaround, since the issue is resolved with a fix in
hdat layer
- Minor nits in comments
- Keep naming consistent between fused-core and normal-core
- Trim stop state list and add stop2
- stop0,1,2 states were tested for 24hrs on ZZ with fused core chips
The above aren't blockers, it should be possible to merge this first.
Benjamin Herrenschmidt (7):
xive: Set the fused core mode properly
chip: Fix pir_to_thread_id for fused cores
cpu: Keep track of the "ec_primary" in big core more
direct-ctl: Use the EC primary for special wakeups
slw: Limit fused cores P9 to STOP0/1/2
cpu: Make cpu_get_core_index() return the fused core number
imc: Use pir_to_core_id() rather than cpu_get_core_index()
Ryan Grimm (1):
Add basic P9 fused core support
