Subject: [PATCH 17/18] arm64: Permit onlining of HVO-incompatible late CPUs if HVO is not in use
Date: Wed, 8 Jul 2026 03:11:27 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260708031129.3503195-18-jthoughton@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260708031129.3503195-1-jthoughton@google.com>
First, HVO must have ARM64_CPUCAP_OPTIONAL_FOR_LATE_CPU so that
incompatible CPUs can be onlined if HVO is not in use. The
late_cpu_enable() callback is used to check if HVO is truly in use.
If the late CPU is incompatible with HVO and HVO is *not* in use, HVO
becomes permanently disabled.
If the late CPU is incompatible with HVO and HVO *is* in use, the CPU
is not onlined.
If the late CPU is compatible with HVO, there is no issue.
