Subject: [PATCH 2/3] cpu: Implement cpu-offline-state callbacks for pSeries.
This patch implements the callbacks to handle the reads/writes into the sysfs
interfaces
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu<number>/available_offline_states
and
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu<number>/preferred_offline_state
Currently, the patch defines two states which the processor can go to when it
is offlined. They are
- deallocate: The current behaviour when the cpu is offlined.
The CPU would call make an rtas_stop_self() call and hand over the
CPU back to the resource pool, thereby effectively deallocating
that vCPU from the LPAR.
- deactivate: This is expected to cede the processor to the hypervisor, so
that on processors which support appropriate low-power states, they can
be exploited. This can be considered as an extended tickless idle state.
The patch only implements the callbacks which will display the available
states, and record the preferred states. The code bits to call
rtas_stop_self() or H_CEDE, depending on the preferred_offline_state is
implemented in the next patch.
