[PATCH v4 02/13] powerpc/rtas: Fall back to linear search on failed token->function lookup

From: Nathan Lynch via B4 Relay <devnull+nathanl.linux.ibm.com@kernel.org>
Date: 2023-11-18 05:25:15
Also in: b4-sent
Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Michael Ellerman, Linus Torvalds

From: Nathan Lynch <redacted>

Enabling any of the powerpc:rtas_* tracepoints at boot is likely to
result in an oops on RTAS platforms. For example, booting a QEMU
pseries model with 'trace_event=powerpc:rtas_input' in the command
line leads to:

  BUG: Kernel NULL pointer dereference on read at 0x00000008
  Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 7 [#1]
  NIP [c00000000004231c] do_enter_rtas+0x1bc/0x460
  LR [c00000000004231c] do_enter_rtas+0x1bc/0x460
  Call Trace:
    do_enter_rtas+0x1bc/0x460 (unreliable)

    timekeeping_init+0x70/0x348
    start_kernel+0xa0c/0xc1c
    start_here_common+0x1c/0x20

(This is preceded by a warning for the failed lookup in
rtas_token_to_function().)

This happens when __do_enter_rtas_trace() attempts a token to function
descriptor lookup before the xarray containing the mappings has been
set up.

Fall back to linear scan of the table if rtas_token_to_function_xarray
is empty.
