Subject: [PATCH v2 11/23] arm64: smp: Defer update of secondary CPU capabilities
Date: Fri, 9 Oct 2026 11:07:22 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261009100738.31288-12-will@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261009100738.31288-1-will@kernel.org>
check_local_cpu_capabilities() runs relatively early during the boot of
each secondary CPU and, despite its name, calls update_cpu_capabilities()
to manipulate the global 'system_cpucaps' based on the features detected
by the incoming CPU.
In preparation for parallel bringup of secondary CPUs, move the call
to update_cpu_capabilities() into update_cpu_features(), allowing
check_local_cpu_capabilities() to run concurrently in future, as it now
only performs local verification of the incoming CPU.
