mainlining shenanigans
f6ea568f0d
We shouldn't need to hold this spinlock here around the entire SCM call
into the firmware and back. Instead, we should be able to query the
firmware, potentially in parallel with other CPUs making the same
convention detection firmware call, and then grab the lock to update the
calling convention detected. The convention doesn't change at runtime so
calling into firmware more than once is possibly wasteful but simpler.
Besides, this is the slow path, not the fast path where we've already
detected the convention used.
More importantly, this allows us to add more logic here to workaround
the case where the firmware call to check for availability isn't
implemented in the firmware at all. In that case we can check the
firmware node compatible string and force a calling convention.
Note that we remove the 'has_queried' logic that is repeated twice. That
could lead to the calling convention being printed multiple times to the
kernel logs if the bool is true but __query_convention() is running on
multiple CPUs. We also shorten the time where the lock is held, but we
keep the lock held around the printk because it doesn't seem hugely
important to drop it for that.

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.
