Michael Ellerman a67cc594df Revert "powerpc/64s/idle: POWER9 ESL=0 stop avoid save/restore overhead"
As described in that commit:

  When stop is executed with EC=ESL=0, it appears to execute like a
  normal instruction (resuming from NIP when woken by interrupt). So
  all the save/restore handling can be avoided completely.

This is true, except in the case of an NMI interrupt (sreset or
machine check) interrupting the instruction. In that case, the NMI
gets an "interrupt occurred while the processor was in power-saving
mode" indication. The power-save wakeup code uses that bit to decide
whether to restore some registers (e.g., LR). Because these are no
longer saved, this causes random register corruption.

It may be possible to restore this optimisation by detecting the case
of no register loss on the wakeup side, and avoid restoring in that
case, but that's not a minor fix because the wakeup code itself uses
some registers that would be live (e.g., LR).

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.
