Hi,
This patchset contains fixes to make CPU-Hotplug working on correctly
on POWER9 DD1 systems.
There are three patches in the series.
- The first patch adds a fallback mechanism for CPU-Hotplug when no
platform idle state is available.
- The second patch ensures that the kernel doesn't use any stop state
that is not exposed by the firmware.
- The third patch adds a recovery framework for correctly recovering
paca pointer of the thread waking up from a stop.
These patches are based on powerpc/linux.git "fixes" with the top
commit a7d2475af7aed ("powerpc: Sort the selects under CONFIG_PPC").
The patches have been tested with stop1 (ESL=EC=1) as the
deepest-state entered into during CPU-Hotplug.
Gautham R. Shenoy (3):
powernv:smp: Add busy-wait loop as fall back for CPU-Hotplug
powernv:idle: Don't override default/deepest directly in kernel
powernv:Recover correct PACA on wakeup from a stop on P9 DD1
