<title>powerpc/pseries: Check for GIQ indicator before calling set-indicator</title>

<id>edc72ac4a0894247a6d3f1157a8ec8d603fff52d</id>
<content type='text'>
Since "Factor out cpu joining/unjoining the GIQ"
(b4963255ad5a426f04a0bb15c4315fa4bb40cde9) the WARN_ON in
xics_set_cpu_giq() is being triggered during boot on JS20 because the
GIQ indicator is not available on that platform.  While the warning is
harmless and the system runs normally, it's nicer to check for the
existence of the indicator before trying to manipulate it.

Implement rtas_indicator_present(), which searches the
/rtas/rtas-indicators property for the given indicator token, and use
this function in xics_set_cpu_giq().

Also use a WARN statement in xics_set_cpu_giq to get better
information on failure.

<title>powerpc: Zero fill the return values of rtas argument buffer</title>

<content type='text'>
The kernel copy of the rtas args struct contains the return
value(s) for the specified rtas call.  These are copied back
to user space with the assumption that every value has been
set by the rtas call, which turns out to be not always true.
Thus userspace can see random values and think the call failed
when in fact it succeeded, but for some reason didn't set one
of the return values.

This fixes the problem by zeroing out the return value fields
of the rtas args struct before processing the rtas call.

It's not even passed on to smp_call_function() anymore, since that
was removed. So kill it.

None of these files use any of the functionality promised by
asm/semaphore.h.  It's possible that they rely on it dragging in some
unrelated header file, but I can't build all these files, so we'll have
fix any build failures as they come up.

This reverts commit a2b51812a4dc5db09ab4d4638d4d8ed456e2457e.

It turns out that this change caused some machines to fail to come
back up when being rebooted, and generated an error in the hypervisor
error log on some machines.  The platform architecture (PAPR) is a
little unclear on exactly when the RTAS ibm,os-term function should be
called.  Until that is clarified I'm reverting this commit.
