Breno Leitao 115a0d6687 powerpc/xmon: Fix invocation inside lock region 
[ Upstream commit 8d4a862276 ]

Currently xmon needs to get devtree_lock (through rtas_token()) during its
invocation (at crash time). If there is a crash while devtree_lock is being
held, then xmon tries to get the lock but spins forever and never get into
the interactive debugger, as in the following case:

	int *ptr = NULL;
	raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&devtree_lock, flags);
	*ptr = 0xdeadbeef;

This patch avoids calling rtas_token(), thus trying to get the same lock,
at crash time. This new mechanism proposes getting the token at
initialization time (xmon_init()) and just consuming it at crash time.

This would allow xmon to be possible invoked independent of devtree_lock
being held or not.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
