[ Upstream commit 35aae182bd7b422be3cefc08c12207bf2b973364 ]
The ability to get and set system parameters will be exposed to user
space, so let's get a little more strict about malformed
papr_sysparm_buf objects.
* Create accessors for the length field of struct papr_sysparm_buf.
The length is always stored in MSB order and this is better than
spreading the necessary conversions all over.
* Reject attempts to submit invalid buffers to RTAS.
* Warn if RTAS returns a buffer with an invalid length, clamping the
returned length to a safe value that won't overrun the buffer.
These are meant as precautionary measures to mitigate both firmware
and kernel bugs in this area, should they arise, but I am not aware of
any.
