<title>powerpc/rtas: arch-wide function token lookup conversions</title>

<content type='text'>
With the tokens for all implemented RTAS functions now available via
rtas_function_token(), which is optimal and safe for arbitrary
contexts, there is no need to use rtas_token() or cache its result.

Most conversions are trivial, but a few are worth describing in more
detail:

* Error injection token comparisons for lockdown purposes are
  consolidated into a simple predicate: token_is_restricted_errinjct().

* A couple of special cases in block_rtas_call() do not use
  rtas_token() but perform string comparisons against names in the
  function table. These are converted to compare against token values
  instead, which is logically equivalent but less expensive.

* The lookup for the ibm,os-term token can be deferred until needed,
  instead of caching it at boot to avoid device tree traversal during
  panic.

* Since rtas_function_token() accesses a read-only data structure
  without taking any locks, xmon's lookup of set-indicator can be
  performed as needed instead of cached at startup.

<title>Revert "powerpc/rtas: Implement reentrant rtas call"</title>

At the time this was submitted by Leonardo, I confirmed -- or thought
I had confirmed -- with PowerVM partition firmware development that
the following RTAS functions:

- ibm,get-xive
- ibm,int-off
- ibm,int-on
- ibm,set-xive

were safe to call on multiple CPUs simultaneously, not only with
respect to themselves as indicated by PAPR, but with arbitrary other
RTAS calls:

https://lore.kernel.org/linuxppc-dev/875zcy2v8o.fsf@linux.ibm.com/

Recent discussion with firmware development makes it clear that this
is not true, and that the code in commit b664db8e3f97 ("powerpc/rtas:
Implement reentrant rtas call") is unsafe, likely explaining several
strange bugs we've seen in internal testing involving DLPAR and
LPM. These scenarios use ibm,configure-connector, whose internal state
can be corrupted by the concurrent use of the "reentrant" functions,
leading to symptoms like endless busy statuses from RTAS.

The kexec code paths involve code that necessarily run in real mode, as
CPUs are disabled and control is transferred to the new kernel. Disable
address sanitization for the kexec code and the functions called in real
mode on CPUs being disabled.

<content type='text'>
Some files functions in 'arch/powerpc/sysdev' are deserving of an `__init`
macro attribute. These functions are only called by other initialization
functions and therefore should inherit the attribute.
Also, change function declarations in header files to include `__init`.

The ICS native driver relies on the IRQ chip data to find the struct
'ics_native' describing the ICS controller but it was removed by commit
248af248a8f4 ("powerpc/xics: Rename the map handler in a check handler").
Revert this change to fix the Microwatt SoC platform.
