Nathan Lynch bc063bf093 powerpc/rtas: Avoid warning on invalid token argument to sys_rtas() 
[ Upstream commit 01e346ffef ]

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
    rtas_token_to_function+0xfc/0x110
  ...
  NIP rtas_token_to_function+0xfc/0x110
  LR  rtas_token_to_function+0xf8/0x110
  Call Trace:
    rtas_token_to_function+0xf8/0x110 (unreliable)
    sys_rtas+0x188/0x880
    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.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
