<content type='text'>
With the tokens for all implemented RTAS functions now available via
rtas_function_token(), which is optimal and safe for arbitrary
contexts, there is no need to use rtas_token() or cache its result.

Most conversions are trivial, but a few are worth describing in more
detail:

* Error injection token comparisons for lockdown purposes are
  consolidated into a simple predicate: token_is_restricted_errinjct().

* A couple of special cases in block_rtas_call() do not use
  rtas_token() but perform string comparisons against names in the
  function table. These are converted to compare against token values
  instead, which is logically equivalent but less expensive.

* The lookup for the ibm,os-term token can be deferred until needed,
  instead of caching it at boot to avoid device tree traversal during
  panic.

* Since rtas_function_token() accesses a read-only data structure
  without taking any locks, xmon's lookup of set-indicator can be
  performed as needed instead of cached at startup.

Don't inherit headers "by chances" from asm/prom.h, asm/mpc52xx.h,
asm/pci.h etc...

Include the needed headers, and remove asm/prom.h when it was
needed exclusively for pulling necessary headers.

<title>powerpc: Adopt nvram module for PPC64</title>

<id>urn:sha1:20e07af71f34d9d1f18aefde6ed234d775fa62bc</id>
<content type='text'>
Adopt nvram module to reduce code duplication. This means CONFIG_NVRAM
becomes available to PPC64 builds. Previously it was only available to
PPC32 builds because it depended on CONFIG_GENERIC_NVRAM.

The IOC_NVRAM_GET_OFFSET ioctl as implemented on PPC64 validates the
offset returned by pmac_get_partition(). Do the same in the nvram module.

Note that the old PPC32 generic_nvram module lacked this test.
So when CONFIG_PPC32 &amp;&amp; CONFIG_PPC_PMAC, the IOC_NVRAM_GET_OFFSET ioctl
would have returned 0 (always). But when CONFIG_PPC64 &amp;&amp; CONFIG_PPC_PMAC,
the IOC_NVRAM_GET_OFFSET ioctl would have returned -1 (which is -EPERM)
when the requested partition was not found.

With this patch, the result is now -EINVAL on both PPC32 and PPC64 when
the requested PowerMac NVRAM partition is not found. This is a userspace-
visible change, in the non-existent partition case, which would be in
an error path for an IOC_NVRAM_GET_OFFSET ioctl syscall.

<id>urn:sha1:78989f0a5592182a3d45d869ddaafc71c8f673af</id>
<content type='text'>
With minor checks, we can move most of the code for nvram
under pseries to a common place to be re-used by other
powerpc platforms like powernv. This patch moves such
common code to arch/powerpc/kernel/nvram_64.c file.

<title>powerpc/pseries: Initialise nvram_pstore_info's buf_lock</title>

<content type='text'>
nvram_pstore_info's buf_lock is not initialized before registering,
which is clearly incorrect.

It causes some strange behavior when trying to obtain the lock during
kdump process.

On a UP configuration, the console stopped for a couple of seconds, then
"lockup suspected" warning printed out, but then it continued to run.

So try lock fails, and lockup reported, but then arch_spin_lock()
passes.
