[Skiboot] [PATCH 01/22] cpu: Add retry in cpu_pm_disable to kick cpus out of idle

[Vasant Hegde]

From: Vaidyanathan Srinivasan <svaidy at linux.ibm.com>

cpu_pm_idle sets pm_enabled = false and expected all cpus
to exit idle. This is needed to re-enter with new settings.

Right after cpu_bringup() we call copy_sreset_vector() and then
cpu_set_sreset_enable(true).  At this time some cpus are still
yet to enter idle and hence miss the doorbell to wakeup.

This leads to cpu_pm_idle waiting forever. This pattern happens
on some system in fused-core mode.

The fact that pm_enabled flag is changing right in the middle of
idle entry is see from the "cpu_idle_p9 called with pm disabled" traces.

One method to fix this race is to retry the door-bell after a timeout.
This patch implements a small time out (few seconds) and then issues
the doorbell once again to kick the cpu that entered idle late after
missing the pm_enabled = false flag.

This checking loop run in smt_lowest() and hence the timeout number
maps to couple of seconds which is sufficient to let the cpus settle in
idle and make them see the doorbell and exit.
