Subject: [PATCH 17/19] arm64: smp: Pass secondary CPU boot parameters via firmware if possible
Date: Mon,  7 Sep 2026 17:40:20 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260907164024.17164-18-will@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260907164024.17164-1-will@kernel.org>

In preparation for parallel bringup of secondary CPUs, the global
'secondary_data' structure used for initial paramater passing must be
localised.

Pass the idle 'task_struct' pointer for secondary CPUs directly to
->cpu_boot() if the backend supports it.
