Fast sleep is an idle state, where the core and the L1 and L2
caches are brought down to a threshold voltage. This also means that
the communication between L2 and L3 caches have to be fenced. However
the current P8 chips have a bug wherein this fencing between L2 and
L3 caches get delayed by a cpu cycle. This can delay L3 response to
the other cpus if they request for data during this time. Thus they
would fetch the same data from the memory which could lead to data
corruption if L3 cache is not flushed.
Patch 4 adds support to work around this.

'Deep Winkle' is a deeper idle state where core and private L2 are powered
off. While it offers higher power savings, it is at the cost of losing
hypervisor register state and higher latency.
Patch 5-9 adds support for winkle and uses it for offline cpus.

Patch 1 - Moves parameters required discover idle states to a location 
common to both cpuidle driver and powernv core code
Patch 2 - Populates idle state details from device tree
Patch 3 - Enables cpus to run guest after waking up from fastsleep/winkle

From: "Srivatsa S. Bhat" <srivatsa@MIT.EDU>

The offline cpus 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.

We hard code the metrics relevant for cpuidle states in the kernel today.
Instead pick them up from the device tree so that they remain relevant
and updated for the system that the kernel is running on.

Fast sleep is an idle state, where the core and the L1 and L2
caches are brought down to a threshold voltage. This also means that
the communication between L2 and L3 caches have to be fenced. However
the current P8 chips have a bug wherein this fencing between L2 and
L3 caches get delayed by a cpu cycle. This can delay L3 response to
the other cpus if they request for data during this time. Thus they
would fetch the same data from the memory which could lead to data
corruption if L3 cache is not flushed.

The cpu idle states save power at a core level and not at a thread level.
Hence powersavings is based on the shallowest idle state that a thread
of a core is in. The above issue in fastsleep will arise only when
all the threads in a core either enter fastsleep or some of them enter
any deeper idle states, with only a few being in fastsleep. This patch
therefore implements a workaround this bug  by ensuring
that, each time a cpu goes to fastsleep, it checks if it is the last
thread in the core to enter fastsleep. If so, it needs to make an opal
call to get around the above mentioned fastsleep problem in the hardware
before issuing the sleep instruction.

Similarly when a thread in a core comes out of fastsleep, it needs
to verify if its the first thread in the core to come out of fastsleep
and issue the opal call to revert the changes made while entering
fastsleep.

For the same reason mentioned above we need to take care of offline threads
as well since we allow them to enter fastsleep and with support for
deep winkle soon coming in they can enter winkle as well.  We therefore
ensure that even offline threads make the above mentioned opal calls
similarly, so that as long as the threads in a core are in and
idle state >= fastsleep, we have the workaround in place. Whenever a
thread comes out of either of these states, it needs to verify if the
opal call has been made and if so it will revert it. For now this patch
ensures that offline threads enter fastsleep.

We need to be able to synchronize the cpus in a core which are entering
and exiting fastsleep so as to ensure that the last thread in the core
to enter fastsleep and the first to exit fastsleep *only* issue the opal
call. To do so, we need a per-core lock and counter. The counter is
required to keep track of the number of threads in a core which are in
idle state >= fastsleep. To make the implementation of this simple, we
introduce a per-cpu lock and counter and every thread always takes the
primary thread's lock, modifies the primary thread's counter. This
effectively makes them per-core entities.

But the workaround is abstracted in the powernv core code and neither
the hotplug path nor the cpuidle driver need to bother about it. All
they need to know is if fastsleep, with error or no error is present as
an idle state.

Hi,

In this patch series we use winkle for offlined cores. I successfully
tested the working of this with subcore functionality.

Test scenario was as follows:
1. Set SMT mode to 1, Set subores-per-core to 1
2. Offline a core, in this case cpu 32 (sending it to winkle)
3. Set subcores-per-core to 4
4. Online the core
5. Start a guest (Topology 1 core 2 threads) on a subcore, in this case
on cpu 36

This works without any glitch.

Thanks,
Shreyas

I have a couple of patches from there in my tree it seems.  Please have a look
at linux-pm.git/linux-next and please let me know if that's the case.

I checked linux-pm.git/linux-net (Last commit 067c17382165). None of the patches
in this series are present in the tree.
