On Pseries LPARs, to calculate utilization, we need to know the [S]PURR ticks when the CPUs were busy or idle. The total PURR and SPURR ticks are already exposed via the per-cpu sysfs files "purr" and "spurr". This patch adds support for exposing the idle PURR and SPURR ticks via new per-cpu sysfs files named "idle_purr" and "idle_spurr". This patch also adds helper functions to accurately read the values of idle_purr and idle_spurr especially from an interrupt context between when the interrupt has occurred between the pseries_idle_prolog() and pseries_idle_epilog(). This will ensure that the idle purr/spurr values corresponding to the latest idle period is accounted for before these values are read. Signed-off-by: Gautham R.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
