3.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Tony Breeds <t...@bakeyournoodle.com>
commit 41dd03a94c7d408d2ef32530545097f7d1befe5c upstream.
Currently we're storing a host endian RTAS token in
rtas_stop_self_args.token. We then pass that directly to rtas. This is
fine on big endian however on little endian the token is not what we
expect.
This will typically result in hitting:
panic("Alas, I survived.\n");
To fix this we always use the stop-self token in host order and always
convert it to be32 before passing this to rtas.
