[ Upstream commit 8d4a862276a9c30a269d368d324fb56529e6d5fd ]

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.

[ Upstream commit 2b038cbc5fcf12a7ee1cc9bfd5da1e46dacdee87 ]

When booting a pseries kernel with PREEMPT enabled, it dumps the
following warning:

   BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: swapper/0/1
   caller is pseries_processor_idle_init+0x5c/0x22c
   CPU: 13 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 4.20.0-rc3-00090-g12201a0128bc-dirty #828

   [c000000429437e20] [c00000000000c1d0] ret_from_kernel_thread+0x5c/0x6c

This happens because the code calls get_lppaca() which calls
get_paca() and it checks if preemption is disabled through
check_preemption_disabled().

Preemption should be disabled because the per CPU variable may make no
sense if there is a preemption (and a CPU switch) after it reads the
per CPU data and when it is used.

In this device driver specifically, it is not a problem, because this
code just needs to have access to one lppaca struct, and it does not
matter if it is the current per CPU lppaca struct or not (i.e. when
there is a preemption and a CPU migration).

That said, the most appropriate fix seems to be related to avoiding
the debug_smp_processor_id() call at get_paca(), instead of calling
preempt_disable() before get_paca().
