The current code in the cpuidle-powernv intialization only allows deep stop states (indicated by OPAL_PM_STOP_INST_DEEP) which lose timebase (indicated by OPAL_PM_TIMEBASE_STOP). This assumption goes back to POWER8 time where deep states used to lose the timebase. However, on POWER9, we do have stop states that are deep (they lose hypervisor state) but retain the timebase. Fix the initialization code in the cpuidle-powernv driver to allow such deep states. Further, there is a bug in cpuidle-powernv driver with CONFIG_TICK_ONESHOT=n where we end up incrementing the nr_idle_states even if a platform idle state which loses time base was not added to the cpuidle table. Fix this by ensuring that the nr_idle_states variable gets incremented only when the platform idle state was added to the cpuidle table. 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.
