Subject: [PATCH 0/3] powernv:idle: Fixes for CPU-Hotplug on POWER DD1.0

From: "Gautham R. Shenoy" <ego@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

Hi,

This patchset contains fixes to make CPU-Hotplug working on correctly
on POWER9 DD1 systems.

There are three patches in the series.

- The first patch adds a fallback mechanism for CPU-Hotplug when no
  platform idle state is available.

- The second patch ensures that the kernel doesn't use any stop state
  that is not exposed by the firmware.

- The third patch adds a recovery framework for correctly recovering
  paca pointer of the thread waking up from a stop.

These patches are based on powerpc/linux.git "fixes" with the top
commit a7d2475af7aed ("powerpc: Sort the selects under CONFIG_PPC").

The patches have been tested with stop1 (ESL=EC=1) as the
deepest-state entered into during CPU-Hotplug.

Gautham R. Shenoy (3):
  powernv:smp: Add busy-wait loop as fall back for CPU-Hotplug
  powernv:idle: Don't override default/deepest directly in kernel
  powernv:Recover correct PACA on wakeup from a stop on P9 DD1
