When global and local pstate are equal in a powernv_target_index() call,
we don't queue a timer. But we may have timer already queued for future.
This could cause the timer to fire one additional time for no use.

- 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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]
