of_find_node_by_path() acquires a reference to the node
returned by it and that reference needs to be dropped by its caller.
bl_idle_init() doesn't do that, so fix it.

[ Upstream commit 2b038cbc5fcf12a7ee1cc9bfd5da1e46dacdee87 ]

When booting a pseries kernel with PREEMPT enabled, it dumps the
following warning:

   BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: swapper/0/1
   caller is pseries_processor_idle_init+0x5c/0x22c
   CPU: 13 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 4.20.0-rc3-00090-g12201a0128bc-dirty #828

   [c000000429437e20] [c00000000000c1d0] ret_from_kernel_thread+0x5c/0x6c

This happens because the code calls get_lppaca() which calls
get_paca() and it checks if preemption is disabled through
check_preemption_disabled().

Preemption should be disabled because the per CPU variable may make no
sense if there is a preemption (and a CPU switch) after it reads the
per CPU data and when it is used.

In this device driver specifically, it is not a problem, because this
code just needs to have access to one lppaca struct, and it does not
matter if it is the current per CPU lppaca struct or not (i.e. when
there is a preemption and a CPU migration).

That said, the most appropriate fix seems to be related to avoiding
the debug_smp_processor_id() call at get_paca(), instead of calling
preempt_disable() before get_paca().

commit 763f191af51f127cf8e69cd361f50bf6180768a5 upstream.

There's no point to register the cpuidle driver for the current CPU, when
the initialization of the arch specific back-end data fails by returning
-ENXIO.

Instead, let's re-order the sequence to its original flow, by first trying
to initialize the back-end part and then act accordingly on the returned
error code. Additionally, let's print the error message, no matter of what
error code that was returned.

<title>cpuidle: menu: Retain tick when shallow state is selected</title>

<id>urn:sha1:757ab15c3f4968b5a29caf3fe8b67660ce84c3cd</id>
<content type='text'>
The case addressed by commit 5ef499cd571c (cpuidle: menu: Handle
stopped tick more aggressively) in the stopped tick case is present
when the tick has not been stopped yet too.  Namely, if only two CPU
idle states, shallow state A with target residency significantly
below the tick boundary and deep state B with target residency
significantly above it, are available and the predicted idle
duration is above the tick boundary, but below the target residency
of state B, state A will be selected and the CPU may spend indefinite
amount of time in it, which is not quite energy-efficient.

However, if the tick has not been stopped yet and the governor is
about to select a shallow idle state for the CPU even though the idle
duration predicted by it is above the tick boundary, it should be
fine to wake up the CPU early, so the tick can be retained then and
the governor will have a chance to select a deeper state when it runs
next time.

[Note that when this really happens, it will make the idle duration
 predictor believe that the CPU might be idle longer than predicted,
 which will make it more likely to predict longer idle durations going
 forward, but that will also cause deeper idle states to be selected
 going forward, on average, which is what's needed here.]

Pull more power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "These fix the main idle loop and the menu cpuidle governor, clean up
  the latter, fix a mistake in the PCI bus type's support for system
  suspend and resume, fix the ondemand and conservative cpufreq
  governors, address a build issue in the system wakeup framework and
  make the ACPI C-states desciptions less confusing.

  Specifics:

   - Make the idle loop handle stopped scheduler tick correctly (Rafael
     Wysocki).

   - Prevent the menu cpuidle governor from letting CPUs spend too much
     time in shallow idle states when it is invoked with scheduler tick
     stopped and clean it up somewhat (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Avoid invoking the platform firmware to make the platform enter the
     ACPI S3 sleep state with suspended PCIe root ports which may
     confuse the firmware and cause it to crash (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Fix sysfs-related race in the ondemand and conservative cpufreq
     governors which may cause the system to crash if the governor
     module is removed during an update of CPU frequency limits (Henry
     Willard).

   - Select SRCU when building the system wakeup framework to avoid a
     build issue in it (zhangyi).

   - Make the descriptions of ACPI C-states vendor-neutral to avoid
     confusion (Prarit Bhargava)"

Commit 87c9fe6ee495 (cpuidle: menu: Avoid selecting shallow states
with stopped tick) missed the case when the target residencies of
deep idle states of CPUs are above the tick boundary which may cause
the CPU to get stuck in a shallow idle state for a long time.

Say there are two CPU idle states available: one shallow, with the
target residency much below the tick boundary and one deep, with
the target residency significantly above the tick boundary.  In
that case, if the tick has been stopped already and the expected
next timer event is relatively far in the future, the governor will
assume the idle duration to be equal to TICK_USEC and it will select
the idle state for the CPU accordingly.  However, that will cause the
shallow state to be selected even though it would have been more
energy-efficient to select the deep one.

To address this issue, modify the governor to always use the time
till the closest timer event instead of the predicted idle duration
if the latter is less than the tick period length and the tick has
been stopped already.  Also make it extend the search for a matching
idle state if the tick is stopped to avoid settling on a shallow
state if deep states with target residencies above the tick period
length are available.

In addition, make it always indicate that the tick should be stopped
if it has been stopped already for consistency.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
 "Notable changes:

   - A fix for a bug in our page table fragment allocator, where a page
     table page could be freed and reallocated for something else while
     still in use, leading to memory corruption etc. The fix reuses
     pt_mm in struct page (x86 only) for a powerpc only refcount.

   - Fixes to our pkey support. Several are user-visible changes, but
     bring us in to line with x86 behaviour and/or fix outright bugs.
     Thanks to Florian Weimer for reporting many of these.

   - A series to improve the hvc driver &amp; related OPAL console code,
     which have been seen to cause hardlockups at times. The hvc driver
     changes in particular have been in linux-next for ~month.

   - Increase our MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS to 128TB when SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP=y.

   - Remove Power8 DD1 and Power9 DD1 support, neither chip should be in
     use anywhere other than as a paper weight.

   - An optimised memcmp implementation using Power7-or-later VMX
     instructions

   - Support for barrier_nospec on some NXP CPUs.

   - Support for flushing the count cache on context switch on some IBM
     CPUs (controlled by firmware), as a Spectre v2 mitigation.

   - A series to enhance the information we print on unhandled signals
     to bring it into line with other arches, including showing the
     offending VMA and dumping the instructions around the fault.
