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.
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.
