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

From: Nathan Lynch <nathanl at linux.ibm.com>
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)
rtas_call+0x22c/0x4a0
rtas_get_boot_time+0x80/0x14c

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.
