Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/pseries: Defer the logging of rtas error to irq work
 queue.

rtas_log_buf is a buffer to hold RTAS event data that are communicated
to kernel by hypervisor. This buffer is then used to pass RTAS event
data to user through proc fs. This buffer is allocated from
vmalloc (non-linear mapping) area.

On Machine check interrupt, register r3 points to RTAS extended event
log passed by hypervisor that contains the MCE event. The pseries
machine check handler then logs this error into rtas_log_buf. The
rtas_log_buf is a vmalloc-ed (non-linear) buffer we end up taking up a
page fault (vector 0x300) while accessing it. Since machine check
interrupt handler runs in NMI context we can not afford to take any
page fault. Page faults are not honored in NMI context and causes
kernel panic. Apart from that, as Nick pointed out,
pSeries_log_error() also takes a spin_lock while logging error which
is not safe in NMI context. It may endup in deadlock if we get another
MCE before releasing the lock. Fix this by deferring the logging of
rtas error to irq work queue.

Current implementation uses two different buffers to hold rtas error
log depending on whether extended log is provided or not. This makes
bit difficult to identify which buffer has valid data that needs to
logged later in irq work. Simplify this using single buffer, one per
paca, and copy rtas log to it irrespective of whether extended log is
provided or not. Allocate this buffer below RMA region so that it can
be accessed in real mode mce handler.
