Subject: [PATCH 3/3] powernv:Recover correct PACA on wakeup from a stop on P9 DD1
From: "Gautham R. Shenoy" <ego@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>
POWER9 platform can be configured to rebalance per-thread resources
within a core in order to improve SMT performance. Certain STOP
states can be configure to relinquish resources include some
hypervisor SPRs in order to enable SMT thread folding.
Due to relinquishing of per-thread resources under certain platform
configuration, certain SPR context could be lost within a core that
needs to be recovered. This state lose is due to reconfiguration of
SMT threads and not due to actual electrical power lose.
This patch implements a context recovery framework within threads of a
core, by provisioning space in paca_struct for saving every sibling
threads's paca pointers. Basically, we should be able to arrive at the
right paca pointer from any of the thread's existing paca pointer.
At bootup, during powernv idle-init, we save the paca address of every
CPU in each one its siblings paca_struct in the slot corresponding to
this CPU's index in the core.
On wakeup from a stop, the thread will determine its index in the core
from the lower 2 bits of the PIR register and recover its PACA pointer
by indexing into the correct slot in the provisioned space in the
current PACA.
