set in periodic mode
On some archs, the local clockevent device stops in deep cpuidle states.
The broadcast framework is used to wakeup cpus in these idle states, in
which either an external clockevent device is used to send wakeup ipis
or the hrtimer broadcast framework kicks in in the absence of such a
device. One cpu is nominated as the broadcast cpu and this cpu sends
wakeup ipis to sleeping cpus at the appropriate time. This is the
implementation in the oneshot mode of broadcast.
In periodic mode of broadcast however, the presence of such cpuidle
states results in the cpuidle driver calling tick_broadcast_enable()
which shuts down the local clockevent devices of all the cpus and
appoints the tick broadcast device as the clockevent device for each of
them. This works on those archs where the tick broadcast device is a
real clockevent device. But on archs which depend on the hrtimer mode
of broadcast, the tick broadcast device hapens to be a pseudo device.
The consequence is that the local clockevent devices of all cpus are
shutdown and the kernel hangs at boot time in periodic mode.
Let us thus not register the cpuidle states which have
CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIMER_STOP flag set, on archs which depend on the hrtimer
mode of broadcast in periodic mode. This patch takes care of doing this
on powerpc. The cpus would not have entered into such deep cpuidle
states in periodic mode on powerpc anyway. So there is no loss here.

The idle cpus which stay in snooze for a long period can degrade the
perfomance of the sibling cpus. If the cpu stays in snooze for more
than target residency of the next available idle state, then exit from
snooze. This gives a chance to the cpuidle governor to re-evaluate the
last idle state of the cpu to promote it to deeper idle states.

We currently read the information about idle states from the DT
so as to populate the cpuidle table. Use those APIs to read from
the DT that can avoid endianness conversions of the property values
in the cpuidle driver.

The device tree now exposes the residency values for different idle states. Read
these values instead of calculating residency from the latency values. The values
exposed in the DT are validated for optimal power efficiency. However to maintain
compatibility with the older firmware code which does not expose residency
values, use default values as a fallback mechanism. While at it, use better
APIs to parse the powermgmt device tree node.

Pull second batch of powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
"The highlight is the series that reworks the idle management on
powernv, which allows us to use deeper idle states on those machines.
There's the fix from Anton for the "BUG at kernel/smpboot.c:134!"
problem.
An i2c driver for powernv. This is acked by Wolfram Sang, and he
asked that we take it through the powerpc tree.
A fix for audit from rgb at Red Hat, acked by Paul Moore who is one of
the audit maintainers.
A patch from Ben to export the symbol map of our OPAL firmware as a
sysfs file, so that tools can use it.
Also some CXL fixes, a couple of powerpc perf fixes, a fix for
smt-enabled, and the patch to add __force to get_user() so we can use
bitwise types"

Deep idle states like sleep and winkle are per core idle states. A core
enters these states only when all the threads enter either the
particular idle state or a deeper one. There are tasks like fastsleep
hardware bug workaround and hypervisor core state save which have to be
done only by the last thread of the core entering deep idle state and
similarly tasks like timebase resync, hypervisor core register restore
that have to be done only by the first thread waking up from these
state.
The current idle state management does not have a way to distinguish the
first/last thread of the core waking/entering idle states. Tasks like
timebase resync are done for all the threads. This is not only is
suboptimal, but can cause functionality issues when subcores and kvm is
involved.
This patch adds the necessary infrastructure to track idle states of
threads in a per-core structure. It uses this info to perform tasks like
fastsleep workaround and timebase resync only once per core.

The secondary threads should enter deep idle states so as to gain maximum
powersavings when the entire core is offline. To do so the offline path
must be made aware of the available deepest idle state. Hence probe the
device tree for the possible idle states in powernv core code and
expose the deepest idle state through flags.
Since the device tree is probed by the cpuidle driver as well, move
the parameters required to discover the idle states into an appropriate
common place to both the driver and the powernv core code.
Another point is that fastsleep idle state may require workarounds in
the kernel to function properly. This workaround is introduced in the
subsequent patches. However neither the cpuidle driver or the hotplug
path need be bothered about this workaround.
They will be taken care of by the core powernv code.

The only place where the time is invalid is when the ACPI_CSTATE_FFH entry
method is not set. Otherwise for all the drivers, the time can be correctly
measured.
Instead of duplicating the CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIME_VALID flag in all the drivers
for all the states, just invert the logic by replacing it by the flag
CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIME_INVALID, hence we can set this flag only for the acpi idle
driver, remove the former flag from all the drivers and invert the logic with
this flag in the different governor.

Instead pick them up from the device tree so that they remain relevant

Currently when entering fastsleep we clear all LPCR PECE bits.
This patch changes it to only clear the decrementer bit (ie. PECE1), which is
the only bit we really need to clear here. This is needed if we want to set
other wakeup causes like the PECEDH bit so we can use hypervisor doorbells on
powernv. Also we no longer clear the MER bit as it should never be set in the
host anyway.

Pull powerpc non-virtualized cpuidle from Ben Herrenschmidt:
"This is the branch I mentioned in my other pull request which contains
our improved cpuidle support for the "powernv" platform
(non-virtualized).
It adds support for the "fast sleep" feature of the processor which
provides higher power savings than our usual "nap" mode but at the
cost of losing the timers while asleep, and thus exploits the new
timer broadcast framework to work around that limitation.
It's based on a tip timer tree that you seem to have already merged"

Fast sleep is one of the deep idle states on Power8 in which local timers of
CPUs stop. On PowerPC we do not have an external clock device which can
handle wakeup of such CPUs. Now that we have the support in the tick broadcast
framework for archs that do not sport such a device and the low level support
for fast sleep, enable it in the cpuidle framework on PowerNV.
