Subject: [PATCH 07/19] arm64: smp: Defer update of secondary CPU capabilities
Date: Mon,  7 Sep 2026 17:40:10 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260907164024.17164-8-will@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260907164024.17164-1-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.
