[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.15 18/22] powerpc/rtas: avoid device tree lookups in rtas_os_term()

From: Sasha Levin

From: Nathan Lynch <nathanl@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit ed2213bfb192ab51f09f12e9b49b5d482c6493f3 ]

rtas_os_term() is called during panic. Its behavior depends on a couple
of conditions in the /rtas node of the device tree, the traversal of
which entails locking and local IRQ state changes. If the kernel panics
while devtree_lock is held, rtas_os_term() as currently written could
hang.

Instead of discovering the relevant characteristics at panic time,
cache them in file-static variables at boot. Note the lookup for
"ibm,extended-os-term" is converted to of_property_read_bool() since it
is a boolean property, not an RTAS function token.
