RTAS events require arguments be passed in big endian while hypercalls have their arguments passed in registers and the values should therefore be in CPU endian. The "ibm,suspend_me" 'RTAS' call makes a sequence of hypercalls to setup one true RTAS call. This means that "ibm,suspend_me" is handled specially in the ppc_rtas() syscall. The ppc_rtas() syscall has its arguments in big endian and can therefore pass these arguments directly to the RTAS call. "ibm,suspend_me" is handled specially from within ppc_rtas() (by calling rtas_ibm_suspend_me()) which has left an endian bug on little endian systems due to the requirement of hypercalls. The return value from rtas_ibm_suspend_me() gets returned in cpu endian, and is left unconverted, also a bug on little endian systems. rtas_ibm_suspend_me() does not actually make use of the rtas_args that it is passed. This patch removes the convoluted use of the rtas_args struct to pass params to rtas_ibm_suspend_me() in favour of passing what it needs as actual arguments. This patch also ensures the two callers of rtas_ibm_suspend_me() pass function parameters in cpu endian and in the case of ppc_rtas(), converts the return value. migrate_store() (the other caller of rtas_ibm_suspend_me()) is from a sysfs file which deals with everything in cpu endian so this function only underwent cleanup. This patch has been tested with KVM both LE and BE and on PowerVM both LE and BE. Under QEMU/KVM the migration happens without touching these code pathes. For PowerVM there is no obvious regression on BE and the LE code path now provides the correct parameters to the hypervisor.
