[ Upstream commit cd24e457fd8b2d087d9236700c8d2957054598bf ]

When a PRRN event is received we are already running in a worker
thread. Instead of spawning off another worker thread on the prrn_work
workqueue to handle the PRRN event we can just call the PRRN handler
routine directly.

With this update we can also pass the scope variable for the PRRN
event directly to the handler instead of it being a global variable.

This patch fixes the following oops mnessage we are seeing in PRRN testing:

<title>powerpc: Only obtain cpu_hotplug_lock if called by rtasd</title>

<content type='text'>
Calling arch_update_cpu_topology from a CPU hotplug state machine callback
hits a deadlock because the function tries to get a read lock on
cpu_hotplug_lock while the state machine still holds a write lock on it.

Since all callers of arch_update_cpu_topology except rtasd already hold
cpu_hotplug_lock, this patch changes the function to use
stop_machine_cpuslocked and creates a separate function for rtasd which
still tries to obtain the lock.

Michael Bringmann investigated the bug and provided a detailed analysis
of the deadlock on this previous RFC for an alternate solution:

Extend the existing PRRN infrastructure to perform the actual affinity
updating for cpus and memory in addition to the device tree updating.
For cpus, dynamic affinity updating already appears to exist in the
kernel in the form of arch_update_cpu_topology(). For memory, we must
place a READD operation on the hotplug queue for any phandle included in
the PRRN event that is determined to be an LMB.

<title>powerpc/pseries: start rtasd before PCI probing</title>

<id>8c6a0a1f4041f19559538649e0b9f3d9224b03a8</id>
<content type='text'>
A strange behaviour is observed when comparing PCI hotplug in QEMU, between
x86 and pseries. If you consider the following steps:
- start a VM
- add a PCI device via the QEMU monitor before the rtasd has started (for
  example starting the VM in paused state, or hotplug during FW or boot
  loader)
- resume the VM execution

The x86 kernel detects the PCI device, but the pseries one does not.

This happens because the rtasd kernel worker is currently started under
device_initcall, while PCI probing happens earlier under subsys_initcall.

As a consequence, if we have a pending RTAS event at boot time, a message
is printed and the event is dropped.

This patch moves all the initialization of rtasd to arch_initcall, which is
run before subsys_call: this way, logging_enabled is true when the RTAS
event pops up and it is not lost anymore.

The proc fs bits stay at device_initcall because they cannot be run before
fs_initcall.

This changes several users of manual "on"/"off" parsing to use
strtobool.

Some side-effects:
- these uses will now parse y/n/1/0 meaningfully too
- the early_param uses will now bubble up parse errors

<title>powerpc/le: Enable RTAS events support</title>

The current kernel code assumes big endian and parses RTAS events all
wrong. The most visible effect is that we cannot honor EPOW events,
meaning, for example, we cannot shut down a guest properly from the
hypervisor.

This new patch is largely inspired by Nathan's work: we get rid of all
the bit fields in the RTAS event structures (even the unused ones, for
consistency). We also introduce endian safe accessors for the fields used
by the kernel (trivial rtas_error_type() accessor added for consistency).
