mainlining shenanigans
Currently we use the stop-api provided by the firmware to program the SLW engine to restore the values of hypervisor resources that get lost on deeper idle states (such as winkle). Since the deep states were only used for CPU-Hotplug on POWER8 systems, we would program the LPCR to have the PECE1 bit since Hotplugged CPUs shouldn't be spuriously woken up by decrementer. On POWER9, some of the deep platform idle states such as stop4 can be used in cpuidle as well. In this case, we want the CPU in stop4 to be woken up by the decrementer when some timer on the CPU expires. In this patch, we program the stop-api for LPCR with PECE1 bit cleared only when we are offlining the CPU and set it back once the CPU is online. Signed-off-by: Gautham R.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
