Linux kernel source tree

Users of rtas_token() supply a string argument that can't be validated at build time. A typo or misspelling has to be caught by inspection or by observing wrong behavior at runtime. Since the core RTAS code now has consolidated the names of all possible RTAS functions and mapped them to their tokens, token lookup can be implemented using symbolic constants to index a static array. So introduce rtas_function_token(), a replacement API which does that, along with a rtas_service_present()-equivalent helper, rtas_function_implemented(). Callers supply an opaque predefined function handle which is used internally to index the function table. Typos or other inappropriate arguments yield build errors, and the function handle is a type that can't be easily confused with RTAS tokens or other integer types.

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.
