Subject: [PATCH] arcv2: Halt non-master cores
Date: Fri, 31 Mar 2017 12:19:06 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1490951946-22574-1-git-send-email-abrodkin@synopsys.com> (raw)
Even though we expect only master core to execute U-Boot code
let's make sure even if for some reason slave cores attempt to
execute U-Boot in parallel with master they get halted very early.
If platform wants it may kick-start slave cores before passing control
to say Linux kernel or any other application that want to see all cores
of SMP SoC up and running.
