powerpc/powernv/idle: Disable LOSE_FULL_CONTEXT states when stop-api fails
Currently, we use the opal call opal_slw_set_reg() to inform the Sleep-Winkle Engine (SLW) to restore the contents of some of the Hypervisor state on wakeup from deep idle states that lose full hypervisor context (characterized by the flag OPAL_PM_LOSE_FULL_CONTEXT). However, the current code has a bug in that if opal_slw_set_reg() fails, we don't disable the use of these deep states (winkle on POWER8, stop4 onwards on POWER9). This patch fixes this bug by ensuring that if programing the sleep-winkle engine to restore the hypervisor states in pnv_save_sprs_for_deep_states() fails, then we exclude such states by clearing the OPAL_PM_LOSE_FULL_CONTEXT flag from supported_cpuidle_states. As a result POWER8 will be prevented from using winkle for CPU-Hotplug, and POWER9 will put the offlined CPUs to the default stop state when available. Further, we ensure in the initialization of the cpuidle-powernv driver to only include those states whose flags are present in supported_cpuidle_states, thereby skipping OPAL_PM_LOSE_FULL_CONTEXT states when they have been disabled due to stop-api failure.
