Currently when CPU goes idle, we take a snapshot of PURR via pseries_idle_prolog() which is used at the CPU idle exit to compute the idle PURR cycles via the function pseries_idle_epilog(). Thus, the value of idle PURR cycle thus read before pseries_idle_prolog() and after pseries_idle_epilog() is always correct. However, if we were to read the idle PURR cycles from an interrupt context between pseries_idle_prolog() and pseries_idle_epilog() (this will be done in a future patch), then, the value of the idle PURR thus read will not include the cycles spent in the most recent idle period. Thus, in that interrupt context, we will need access to the snapshot of the PURR before going idle, in order to compute the idle PURR cycles for the latest idle duration. In this patch, we save the snapshot of PURR in pseries_idle_prolog() in a per-cpu variable, instead of on the stack, so that it can be accessed from an interrupt context. Signed-off-by: Gautham R.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
