powerpc/rtas: Fall back to linear search on failed token->function lookup
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 read_persistent_clock64+0x124/0x150 read_persistent_wall_and_boot_offset+0x28/0x58 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.
