    powerpc/rtas: Avoid warning on invalid token argument to sys_rtas() · 01e346ff
    Nathan Lynch authored
    rtas_token_to_function() WARNs when passed an invalid token; it's
    meant to catch bugs in kernel-based users of RTAS functions. However,
    user space controls the token value passed to rtas_token_to_function()
    by block_rtas_call(), so user space with sufficient privilege to use
    sys_rtas() can trigger the warnings at will:
    
      unexpected failed lookup for token 2048
      WARNING: CPU: 20 PID: 2247 at arch/powerpc/kernel/rtas.c:556

      ...
      NIP rtas_token_to_function+0xfc/0x110
      LR  rtas_token_to_function+0xf8/0x110
      Call Trace:
        rtas_token_to_function+0xf8/0x110 (unreliable)

        system_call_exception+0x268/0x530
        system_call_common+0x160/0x2c4
    
    It's desirable to continue warning on bogus tokens in
    rtas_token_to_function(). Currently it is used to look up RTAS
    function descriptors when tracing, where we know there has to have
    been a successful descriptor lookup by different means already, and it
    would be a serious inconsistency for the reverse lookup to fail.
    
    So instead of weakening rtas_token_to_function()'s contract by
    removing the warnings, introduce rtas_token_to_function_untrusted(),
    which has no opinion on failed lookups. Convert block_rtas_call() and
    rtas_token_to_function() to use it.
