Commit 09206b600c76 ("powernv: Pass PSSCR value and mask to
power9_idle_stop") added additional code in power_enter_stop() to
distinguish between stop requests whose PSSCR had ESL=EC=1 from those
which did not. When ESL=EC=1, we do a forward-jump to a location
labelled by "1", which had the code to handle the ESL=EC=1 case.
Unfortunately just a couple of instructions before this label, is the
macro IDLE_STATE_ENTER_SEQ() which also has a label "1" in its
expansion.
As a result, the current code can result in directly executing stop
instruction for deep stop requests with PSSCR ESL=EC=1, without saving
the hypervisor state.
Fix this BUG by labeling the location that handles ESL=EC=1 case with
a more descriptive label ".Lhandle_esl_ec_set" (local label suggestion
a la .Lxx from Anton Blanchard).
While at it, rename the label "2" labelling the location of the code
handling entry into deep stop states with ".Lhandle_deep_stop".
For a good measure, change the label in IDLE_STATE_ENTER_SEQ() macro
to an not-so commonly used value in order to avoid similar mishaps in
the future.

The power9_idle_stop method currently takes only the requested stop
level as a parameter and picks up the rest of the PSSCR bits from a
hand-coded macro. This is not a very flexible design, especially when
the firmware has the capability to communicate the psscr value and the
mask associated with a particular stop state via device tree.
This patch modifies the power9_idle_stop API to take as parameters the
PSSCR value and the PSSCR mask corresponding to the stop state that
needs to be set. These PSSCR value and mask are respectively obtained
by parsing the "ibm,cpu-idle-state-psscr" and
"ibm,cpu-idle-state-psscr-mask" fields from the device tree.
In addition to this, the patch adds support for handling stop states
for which ESL and EC bits in the PSSCR are zero. As per the
architecture, a wakeup from these stop states resumes execution from
the subsequent instruction as opposed to waking up at the System
Vector.
The older firmware sets only the Requested Level (RL) field in the
psscr and psscr-mask exposed in the device tree. For older firmware
where psscr-mask=0xf, this patch will set the default sane values that
the set for for remaining PSSCR fields (i.e PSLL, MTL, ESL, EC, and
TR). For the new firmware, the patch will validate that the invariants
required by the ISA for the psscr values are maintained by the
firmware.
This skiboot patch that exports fully populated PSSCR values and the
mask for all the stop states can be found here:

Currently all the low-power idle states are expected to wake up
at reset vector 0x100. Which is why the macro IDLE_STATE_ENTER_SEQ
that puts the CPU to an idle state and never returns.
On ISA v3.0, when the ESL and EC bits in the PSSCR are zero, the CPU
is expected to wake up at the next instruction of the idle
instruction.
This patch adds a new macro named IDLE_STATE_ENTER_SEQ_NORET for the
no-return variant and reuses the name IDLE_STATE_ENTER_SEQ
for a variant that allows resuming operation at the instruction next
to the idle-instruction.

PowerPC's "cmp" instruction has four operands. Normally people write
"cmpw" or "cmpd" for the second cmp operand 0 or 1. But, frequently
people forget, and write "cmp" with just three operands.
With older binutils this is silently accepted as if this was "cmpw",
while often "cmpd" is wanted. With newer binutils GAS will complain
about this for 64-bit code. For 32-bit code it still silently assumes
"cmpw" is what is meant.
In this instance the code comes directly from ISA v2.07, including the
cmp, but cmpd is correct. Backport to stable so that new toolchains can
build old kernels.

in subsequent patch can use it.

POWER ISA v3 defines a new idle processor core mechanism. In summary,
a) new instruction named stop is added. This instruction replaces
instructions like nap, sleep, rvwinkle.
b) new per thread SPR named Processor Stop Status and Control Register
(PSSCR) is added which controls the behavior of stop instruction.
PSSCR layout:
----------------------------------------------------------
| PLS | /// | SD | ESL | EC | PSLL | /// | TR | MTL | RL |
----------------------------------------------------------
0 4 41 42 43 44 48 54 56 60
PSSCR key fields:
Bits 0:3 - Power-Saving Level Status. This field indicates the lowest
power-saving state the thread entered since stop instruction was last
executed.
Bit 42 - Enable State Loss
0 - No state is lost irrespective of other fields
1 - Allows state loss
Bits 44:47 - Power-Saving Level Limit
This limits the power-saving level that can be entered into.
Bits 60:63 - Requested Level
Used to specify which power-saving level must be entered on executing
stop instruction
This patch adds support for stop instruction and PSSCR handling.

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.
