POWER ISA v3 defines a new idle processor core mechanism. In summary, a) new instruction named stop is added. b) new per thread SPR named PSSCR is added which controls the behavior of stop instruction. Supported idle states and value to be written to PSSCR register to enter any idle state is exposed via ibm,cpu-idle-state-names and ibm,cpu-idle-state-psscr respectively. To enter an idle state, platform provided power_stop() needs to be invoked with the appropriate PSSCR value. This patch adds support for this new mechanism in cpuidle powernv driver. Cc: Rafael J.

Rafael/Daniel do you guys want to ack or nack this? I'll take silence as "not bothered" and merge the whole series via the powerpc tree. cheers _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
