From: Li Zhong <zhong@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== commit 4fb8d027dca0236c811272d342cf185569d91311 upstream. commit 41dd03a9 may cause Oops in rtas_stop_self(). The reason is that the rtas_args was moved into stack space. For a box with more that 4GB RAM, the stack could easily be outside 32bit range, but RTAS is 32bit. So the patch moves rtas_args away from stack by adding static before it.
