Subject: [PATCH v3 3/3] powerpc/powernv: Introduce sysfs control for fastsleep workaround behavior
Fastsleep is one of the idle state which cpuidle subsystem currently
uses on power8 machines. In this state L2 cache is brought down to a
threshold voltage. Therefore when the core is in fastsleep, the
communication between L2 and L3 needs to be fenced. But there is a bug
in the current power8 chips surrounding this fencing.
OPAL provides a workaround which precludes the possibility of hitting
this bug. But running with this workaround applied causes checkstop
if any correctable error in L2 cache directory is detected. Hence OPAL
also provides a way to undo the workaround.
In the existing implementation, workaround is applied by the last thread
of the core entering fastsleep and undone by the first thread waking up.
But this has a performance cost. These OPAL calls account for roughly
4000 cycles everytime the core has to enter or wakeup from fastsleep.
This patch introduces a sysfs attribute (fastsleep_workaround_state)
to choose the behavior of this workaround.
By default, fastsleep_workaround_state = 0. In this case, workaround
is applied/undone everytime the core enters/exits fastsleep.
fastsleep_workaround_state = 1. In this case the workaround is applied
once on all the cores and never undone. This can be triggered by
echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/fastsleep_workaround_state
For simplicity this attribute can be modified only once. Implying, once
fastsleep_workaround_state is changed to 1, it cannot be reverted to
the default state.
