powerpc/powernv: Remove powernv RTAS support

The powernv code has some conditional support for running on bare metal
machines that have no OPAL firmware, but provide RTAS.

No released machines ever supported that, and even in the lab it was
just a transitional hack in the days when OPAL was still being
developed.

So remove the code.

powerpc/powernv: Restore LPCR with LPCR_PECE1 cleared

LPCR_PECE1 bit controls whether decrementer interrupts are allowed to
cause exit from power-saving mode. While waking up from winkle, restoring
LPCR with LPCR_PECE1 set (i.e Decrementer interrupts allowed) can cause
issue in the following scenario:

- All the threads in a core are offlined. The core enters deep winkle.
- Spurious interrupt wakes up a thread in the core. Here LPCR is restored
with LPCR_PECE1 bit set.
- Since it was a spurious interrupt on a offline thread, the thread clears
the interrupt and goes back to winkle.
- Here before the thread executes winkle and puts the core into deep winkle,
if a decrementer interrupt occurs on any of the sibling threads in the core
that thread wakes up.
- Since in offline loop we are flushing interrupt only in case of external
interrupt, the decrementer interrupt does not get flushed. So at this stage
the thread is stuck in this is loop of waking up at 0x100 due to decrementer
interrupt, not flushing the interrupt as only external interrupts get flushed,
entering winkle, waking up at 0x100 again.

Fix this by programming PORE to restore LPCR with LPCR_PECE1 bit
cleared when waking up from winkle.

powernv/powerpc: Add winkle support for offline cpus

Winkle is a deep idle state supported in power8 chips. A core enters
winkle when all the threads of the core enter winkle. In this state
power supply to the entire chiplet i.e core, private L2 and private L3
is turned off. As a result it gives higher powersavings compared to
sleep.

But entering winkle results in a total hypervisor state loss. Hence the
hypervisor context has to be preserved before entering winkle and
restored upon wake up.

Power-on Reset Engine (PORE) is a dedicated engine which is responsible
for powering on the chiplet during wake up. It can be programmed to
restore the register contests of a few specific registers. This patch
uses PORE to restore register state wherever possible and uses stack to
save and restore rest of the necessary registers.

With hypervisor state restore things fall under three categories-
per-core state, per-subcore state and per-thread state. To manage this,
extend the infrastructure introduced for sleep. Mainly we add a paca
variable subcore_sibling_mask. Using this and the core_idle_state we can
distingush first thread in core and subcore.

powernv/cpuidle: Redesign idle states management

Deep idle states like sleep and winkle are per core idle states. A core
enters these states only when all the threads enter either the
particular idle state or a deeper one. There are tasks like fastsleep
hardware bug workaround and hypervisor core state save which have to be
done only by the last thread of the core entering deep idle state and
similarly tasks like timebase resync, hypervisor core register restore
that have to be done only by the first thread waking up from these
state.

The current idle state management does not have a way to distinguish the
first/last thread of the core waking/entering idle states. Tasks like
timebase resync are done for all the threads. This is not only is
suboptimal, but can cause functionality issues when subcores and kvm is
involved.

This patch adds the necessary infrastructure to track idle states of
threads in a per-core structure. It uses this info to perform tasks like
fastsleep workaround and timebase resync only once per core.

powerpc/powernv: Enable Offline CPUs to enter deep idle states

The secondary threads should enter deep idle states so as to gain maximum
powersavings when the entire core is offline. To do so the offline path
must be made aware of the available deepest idle state. Hence probe the
device tree for the possible idle states in powernv core code and
expose the deepest idle state through flags.

Since the device tree is probed by the cpuidle driver as well, move
the parameters required to discover the idle states into an appropriate
common place to both the driver and the powernv core code.

Another point is that fastsleep idle state may require workarounds in
the kernel to function properly. This workaround is introduced in the
subsequent patches. However neither the cpuidle driver or the hotplug
path need be bothered about this workaround.

They will be taken care of by the core powernv code.

rtc/tpo: Driver to support rtc and wakeup on PowerNV platform

The patch implements the OPAL rtc driver that binds with the rtc
driver subsystem. The driver uses the platform device infrastructure
to probe the rtc device and register it to rtc class framework. The
'wakeup' is supported depending upon the property 'has-tpo' present
in the OF node. It provides a way to load the generic rtc driver in
in the absence of an OPAL driver.

The patch also moves the existing OPAL rtc get/set time interfaces to the
new driver and exposes the necessary OPAL calls using EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL.

powerpc: Convert power off logic to pm_power_off

The generic Linux framework to power off the machine is a function pointer
called pm_power_off. The trick about this pointer is that device drivers can
potentially implement it rather than board files.

Today on powerpc we set pm_power_off to invoke our generic full machine power
off logic which then calls ppc_md.power_off to invoke machine specific power
off.

However, when we want to add a power off GPIO via the "gpio-poweroff" driver,
this card house falls apart. That driver only registers itself if pm_power_off
is NULL to ensure it doesn't override board specific logic. However, since we
always set pm_power_off to the generic power off logic (which will just not
power off the machine if no ppc_md.power_off call is implemented), we can't
implement power off via the generic GPIO power off driver.

To fix this up, let's get rid of the ppc_md.power_off logic and just always use
pm_power_off as was intended. Then individual drivers such as the GPIO power off
driver can implement power off logic via that function pointer.

With this patch set applied and a few patches on top of QEMU that implement a
power off GPIO on the virt e500 machine, I can successfully turn off my virtual
machine after halt.

powerpc/powernv: Override dma_get_required_mask()

The dma_get_required_mask() function is used by some drivers to
query the platform about what DMA mask is needed to cover all of
memory. This is a bit of a strange semantic when we have to choose
between IOMMU translation or bypass, but essentially what it means
is "what DMA mask will give best performances".

Currently, our IOMMU backend always returns a 32-bit mask here, we
don't do anything special to it when we have bypass available. This
causes some drivers to choose a 32-bit mask, thus losing the ability
to use the bypass window, thinking this is more efficient. The problem
was reported from the driver of following device:

0004:03:00.0 0107: 1000:0087 (rev 05)
0004:03:00.0 Serial Attached SCSI controller: LSI Logic / Symbios \
Logic SAS2308 PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS-2 (rev 05)

This patch adds an override of that function in order to, instead,
return a 64-bit mask whenever a bypass window is available in order
for drivers to prefer this configuration.

powerpc/powernv: Fix kexec races going back to OPAL

We have a subtle race when sending CPUs back to OPAL on kexec.

We mark them as "in real mode" right before we send them down. Once
we've booted the new kernel, it might try to call opal_reinit_cpus()
to change endianness, and that requires all CPUs to be spinning inside
OPAL.

However there is no synchronization here and we've observed cases
where the returning CPUs hadn't established their new state inside
OPAL before opal_reinit_cpus() is called, causing it to fail.

The proper fix is to actually wait for them to go down all the way
from the kexec'ing kernel.

powerpc/powernv: Call OPAL sync before kexec'ing

Its possible that OPAL may be writing to host memory during
kexec (like dump retrieve scenario). In this situation we might
end up corrupting host memory.

This patch makes OPAL sync call to make sure OPAL stops
writing to host memory before kexec'ing.

powerpc: add explicit OF includes

When removing prom.h include by of.h, several OF headers will no longer
be implicitly included. Add explicit includes of of_*.h as needed.

powerpc/powernv: Return secondary CPUs to firmware on kexec

With OPAL v3 we can return secondary CPUs to firmware on kexec. This
allows firmware to do various cleanups making things generally more
reliable, and will enable the "new" kernel to call OPAL to perform
some reconfiguration tasks early on that can only be done while
all the CPUs are in firmware.
