From: Tony Breeds <tony@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== 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.
