The rtas system call handler sys_rtas() delegates certain input validation steps to a helper function: block_rtas_call(). One of these steps ensures that the user-supplied token value maps to a known RTAS function. This is done by performing a "reverse" token-to-function lookup via rtas_token_to_function_untrusted() to obtain an rtas_function object. In changes to come, sys_rtas() itself will need the function descriptor for the token. To prepare: * Move the lookup and validation up into sys_rtas() and pass the resulting rtas_function pointer to block_rtas_call(), which is otherwise unconcerned with the token value. * Change block_rtas_call() to report the RTAS function name instead of the token value on validation failures, since it can now rely on having a valid function descriptor. One behavior change is that sys_rtas() now silently errors out when passed a bad token, before calling block_rtas_call(). So we will no longer log "RTAS call blocked - exploit attempt?" on invalid tokens. This is consistent with how sys_rtas() currently handles other "metadata" (nargs and nret), while block_rtas_call() is primarily concerned with validating the arguments to be passed to specific RTAS functions.

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.
