8e85946777 cpufreq: powernv: Fix crash in gpstate_timer_handler()
Commit 09ca4c9b59 (cpufreq: powernv: Replacing pstate_id with
frequency table index) changes calc_global_pstate() to use
cpufreq_table index instead of pstate_id.

But in gpstate_timer_handler(), pstate_id was being passed instead
of cpufreq_table index, which caused index_to_pstate() to access
out of bound indices, leading to this crash.

Adding sanity check for index and pstate, to ensure only valid pstate
and index values are returned.

Pull power management updates from Rafael  Wysocki:
 "Again, the majority of changes go into the cpufreq subsystem, but
  there are no big features this time.  The cpufreq changes that stand
  out somewhat are the governor interface rework and improvements
  related to the handling of frequency tables.  Apart from those, there
  are fixes and new device/CPU IDs in drivers, cleanups and an
  improvement of the new schedutil governor.

  Next, there are some changes in the hibernation core, including a fix
  for a nasty problem related to the MONITOR/MWAIT usage by CPU offline
  during resume from hibernation, a few core improvements related to
  memory management during resume, a couple of additional debug features
  and cleanups.

  Finally, we have some fixes and cleanups in the devfreq subsystem,
  generic power domains framework improvements related to system
  suspend/resume, support for some new chips in intel_idle and in the
  power capping RAPL driver, a new version of the AnalyzeSuspend utility

09ca4c9b59 cpufreq: powernv: Replacing pstate_id with frequency table index
Refactoring code to use frequency table index instead of pstate_id.
This abstraction will make the code independent of the pstate values.

- No functional changes
- The highest frequency is at frequency table index 0 and the frequency
  decreases as the index increases.
- Macros pstates_to_idx() and idx_to_pstate() can be used for conversion
  between pstate_id and index.
- powernv_pstate_info now contains frequency table index to min, max and
  nominal frequency (instead of pstate_ids)
- global_pstate_info new stores index values instead pstate ids.
- variables renamed as *_idx which now store index instead of pstate

- Calling smp_call_function_any() with interrupt disabled (through
 spin_lock_irqsave) could cause a deadlock, as smp_call_function_any()
 relies on the IPI to complete. This is detected in the
 smp_call_function_any() call and hence the WARN_ON.

- As the spinlock (gpstates->lock) is only used to synchronize access of
 global_pstate_info  between timer irq handler and target_index calls. And
 the timer irq handler just try_locks() hence it would not cause a
 deadlock. Hence could do without making spinlocks irq safe.

- As the smp_call_function_any() is a blocking call and does not access
 global_pstates_info, it could reduce the critcal section by moving
 smp_call_function_any() after giving up the lock.

eaa2c3aeef cpufreq: powernv: Ramp-down global pstate slower than local-pstate
The frequency transition latency from pmin to pmax is observed to be in
few millisecond granurality. And it usually happens to take a performance
penalty during sudden frequency rampup requests.

This patch set solves this problem by using an entity called "global
pstates". The global pstate is a Chip-level entity, so the global entitiy
(Voltage) is managed across the cores. The local pstate is a Core-level
entity, so the local entity (frequency) is managed across threads.

This patch brings down global pstate at a slower rate than the local
pstate. Hence by holding global pstates higher than local pstate makes
the subsequent rampups faster.

A per policy structure is maintained to keep track of the global and
local pstate changes. The global pstate is brought down using a parabolic
equation. The ramp down time to pmin is set to ~5 seconds. To make sure
that the global pstates are dropped at regular interval , a timer is
queued for every 2 seconds during ramp-down phase, which eventually brings
the pstate down to local pstate.

Iozone results show fairly consistent performance boost.
YCSB on redis shows improved Max latencies in most cases.

Iozone write/rewite test were made with filesizes 200704Kb and 401408Kb
with different record sizes . The following table shows IOoperations/sec

Commit 96c4726f01 "cpufreq: powernv: Remove cpu_to_chip_id() from
hot-path" introduced a 'core_to_chip_map' array to cache the chip-ids
of all cores.

Replace this with a per-CPU variable that stores the pointer to the
chip-array. This removes the linear lookup and provides a neater and
simpler solution.

Currently we use printk message to notify the throttle event. But this
can flood the console if the cpu is throttled frequently. So replace the
printk with the tracepoint to notify the throttle event. And also events
like throttle below nominal frequency and OCC_RESET are reduced to
pr_warn/pr_warn_once as pointed by MFG to not mark them as critical
messages. This patch adds 'throttle_reason' to struct chip to store the
throttle reason.

3dd3ebe5bb cpufreq: powernv: Report Psafe only if PMSR.psafe_mode_active bit is set
On a reset cycle of OCC, although the system retires from safe
frequency state the local pstate is not restored to Pmin or last
requested pstate. Now if the cpufreq governor initiates a pstate
change, the local pstate will be in Psafe and we will be reporting a
false positive when we are not throttled.

So in powernv_cpufreq_throttle_check() remove the condition which
checks if local pstate is less than Pmin while checking for Psafe
frequency. If the cpus are forced to Psafe then PMSR.psafe_mode_active
bit will be set. So, when OCCs become active this bit will be cleared.
Let us just rely on this bit for reporting throttling.

735366fc40 cpufreq: powernv: Call throttle_check() on receiving OCC_THROTTLE
Re-evaluate the chip's throttled state on recieving OCC_THROTTLE
notification by executing *throttle_check() on any one of the cpu on
the chip. This is a sanity check to verify if we were indeed
throttled/unthrottled after receiving OCC_THROTTLE notification.

We cannot call *throttle_check() directly from the notification
handler because we could be handling chip1's notification in chip2. So
initiate an smp_call to execute *throttle_check(). We are irq-disabled
in the notification handler, so use a worker thread to smp_call
throttle_check() on any of the cpu in the chipmask.

cb166fa937 cpufreq: powernv: Register for OCC related opal_message notification
OCC is an On-Chip-Controller which takes care of power and thermal
safety of the chip. During runtime due to power failure or
overtemperature the OCC may throttle the frequencies of the CPUs to
remain within the power budget.

We want the cpufreq driver to be aware of such situations to be able
to report the reason to the user. We register to opal_message_notifier
to receive OCC messages from opal.

powernv_cpufreq_throttle_check() reports any frequency throttling and
this patch will report the reason or event that caused throttling. We
can be throttled if OCC is reset or OCC limits Pmax due to power or
thermal reasons. We are also notified of unthrottling after an OCC
reset or if OCC restores Pmax on the chip.

053819e0bf cpufreq: powernv: Handle throttling due to Pmax capping at chip level
The On-Chip-Controller(OCC) can throttle cpu frequency by reducing the
max allowed frequency for that chip if the chip exceeds its power or
temperature limits. As Pmax capping is a chip level condition report
this throttling behavior at chip level and also do not set the global
'throttled' on Pmax capping instead set the per-chip throttled
variable. Report unthrottling if Pmax is restored after throttling.

This patch adds a structure to store chip id and throttled state of
the chip.

09a972d162 cpufreq: powernv: Report cpu frequency throttling
The power and thermal safety of the system is taken care by an
On-Chip-Controller (OCC) which is real-time subsystem embedded within
the POWER8 processor. OCC continuously monitors the memory and core
temperature, the total system power, state of power supply and fan.

The cpu frequency can be throttled by OCC for the following reasons:
1)If a processor crosses its power and temperature limit then OCC will
  lower its Pmax to reduce the frequency and voltage.
2)If OCC crashes then the system is forced to Psafe frequency.
3)If OCC fails to recover then the kernel is not allowed to do any
  further frequency changes and the chip will remain in Psafe.

The user can see a drop in performance when frequency is throttled and
is unaware of throttling. So detect and report such a condition, so
the user can check the OCC status to reboot the system or check for
power supply or fan failures.

The current status of the core is read from Power Management Status
Register(PMSR) to check if any of the throttling condition is occurred
and the appropriate throttling message is reported.

cf30af7695 cpufreq: powernv: Set the cpus to nominal frequency during reboot/kexec
This patch ensures the cpus to kexec/reboot at nominal frequency.
Nominal frequency is the highest cpu frequency on PowerPC at
which the cores can run without getting throttled.

If the host kernel had set the cpus to a low pstate and then it
kexecs/reboots to a cpufreq disabled kernel it would cause the target
kernel to perform poorly. It will also increase the boot up time of
the target kernel. So set the cpus to high pstate, in this case to
nominal frequency before rebooting to avoid such scenarios.

The reboot notifier will set the cpus to nominal frequncy.

b120339c78 cpufreq: powernv: Set the pstate of the last hotplugged out cpu in policy->cpus to minimum
Its possible today that the pstate of a core is held at a high even after the
entire core is hotplugged out if a load had just run on  the hotplugged cpu. This is
fair, since it is assumed that the pstate does not matter to a cpu in a deep idle
state, which is the expected state of a hotplugged core on powerpc. However on powerpc,
the pstate at a socket level is held at the maximum of the pstates of each core. Even
if the pstates of the active cores on that socket is low, the socket pstate is held
high due to the pstate of the hotplugged core in the above mentioned scenario. This
can cost significant amount of power loss for no good.

Besides, since it is a non active core, nothing can be done from the kernel's end
to set the frequency of the core right. Hence make use of the stop_cpu callback
to explicitly set the pstate of the core to a minimum when the last cpu of the
core gets hotplugged out.

6174bac8c7 powerpc/cpufreq: Add pr_warn() on OPAL firmware failures
Cpufreq depends on platform firmware to implement PStates.  In case of
platform firmware failure, cpufreq should not panic host kernel with
BUG_ON().  Less severe pr_warn() will suffice.

Add firmware_has_feature(FW_FEATURE_OPALv3) check to
skip probing for device-tree on non-powernv platforms.

f3cae355a9 cpufreq, powernv: Fix build failure on UP
Paul Gortmaker reported the following build failure of the powernv cpufreq
driver on UP configs:

drivers/cpufreq/powernv-cpufreq.c:241:2: error: implicit declaration of
function 'cpu_sibling_mask' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
cc1: some warnings being treated as errors
make[3]: *** [drivers/cpufreq/powernv-cpufreq.o] Error 1
make[2]: *** [drivers/cpufreq] Error 2
make[1]: *** [drivers] Error 2
make: *** [sub-make] Error 2

The trouble here is that cpu_sibling_mask is defined only in <asm/smp.h>,
and <linux/smp.h> includes <asm/smp.h> only in SMP builds.

So fix this build failure by explicitly including <asm/smp.h> in the driver,
so that we get the definition of cpu_sibling_mask even in UP configurations.

0692c69138 cpufreq: powernv: Use cpufreq_frequency_table.driver_data to store pstate ids
The .driver_data field in the cpufreq_frequency_table was supposed to
be private to the drivers. However at some later point, it was being
used to indicate if the particular frequency in the table is the
BOOST_FREQUENCY. After patches [1] and [2], the .driver_data is once
again private to the driver. Thus we can safely use
cpufreq_frequency_table.driver_data to store pstate_ids instead of
having to maintain a separate array powernv_pstate_ids[] for this
purpose.

b3d627a5f2 cpufreq: powernv: cpufreq driver for powernv platform
Backend driver to dynamically set voltage and frequency on
IBM POWER non-virtualized platforms.  Power management SPRs
are used to set the required PState.

This driver works in conjunction with cpufreq governors
like 'ondemand' to provide a demand based frequency and
voltage setting on IBM POWER non-virtualized platforms.

PState table is obtained from OPAL v3 firmware through device
tree.

powernv_cpufreq back-end driver would parse the relevant device-tree
nodes and initialise the cpufreq subsystem on powernv platform.

The code was originally written by svaidy@linux.vnet.ibm.com. Over
time it was modified to accomodate bug-fixes as well as updates to the
the cpu-freq core. Relevant portions of the change logs corresponding
to those modifications are noted below:

 * The policy->cpus needs to be populated in a hotplug-invariant
   manner instead of using cpu_sibling_mask() which varies with
   cpu-hotplug. This is because the cpufreq core code copies this
   content into policy->related_cpus mask which should not vary on
   cpu-hotplug. [Authored by srivatsa.bhat@linux.vnet.ibm.com]

 * Create a helper routine that can return the cpu-frequency for the
   corresponding pstate_id. Also, cache the values of the pstate_max,
   pstate_min and pstate_nominal and nr_pstates in a static structure
   so that they can be reused in the future to perform any
   validations. [Authored by ego@linux.vnet.ibm.com]

 * Create a driver attribute named cpuinfo_nominal_freq which creates
   a sysfs read-only file named cpuinfo_nominal_freq. Export the
   frequency corresponding to the nominal_pstate through this
   interface.

     Nominal frequency is the highest non-turbo frequency for the
   platform.  This is generally used for setting governor policies
   from user space for optimal energy efficiency. [Authored by
   ego@linux.vnet.ibm.com]

 * Implement a powernv_cpufreq_get(unsigned int cpu) method which will
   return the current operating frequency. Export this via the sysfs
   interface cpuinfo_cur_freq by setting powernv_cpufreq_driver.get to
   powernv_cpufreq_get(). [Authored by ego@linux.vnet.ibm.com]
