Currently, we use the opal call opal_slw_set_reg() to inform the
Sleep-Winkle Engine (SLW) to restore the contents of some of the
Hypervisor state on wakeup from deep idle states that lose full
hypervisor context (characterized by the flag
OPAL_PM_LOSE_FULL_CONTEXT).
However, the current code has a bug in that if opal_slw_set_reg()
fails, we don't disable the use of these deep states (winkle on
POWER8, stop4 onwards on POWER9).
This patch fixes this bug by ensuring that if programing the
sleep-winkle engine to restore the hypervisor states in
pnv_save_sprs_for_deep_states() fails, then we exclude such states by
clearing the OPAL_PM_LOSE_FULL_CONTEXT flag from
supported_cpuidle_states. As a result POWER8 will be prevented from
using winkle for CPU-Hotplug, and POWER9 will put the offlined CPUs to
the default stop state when available.
Further, we ensure in the initialization of the cpuidle-powernv driver
to only include those states whose flags are present in
supported_cpuidle_states, thereby skipping OPAL_PM_LOSE_FULL_CONTEXT
states when they have been disabled due to stop-api failure.
Fixes: 1e1601b38e ("powerpc/powernv/idle: Restore SPRs for deep idle
states via stop API.")

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.
