[PATCH 1/6] arm64: cpufeature: Allow early detect of specific features

Julien Thierry julien.thierry at arm.com
Tue Dec 5 09:11:47 PST 2017


From: Daniel Thompson <daniel.thompson at linaro.org>

Currently it is not possible to detect features of the boot CPU
until the other CPUs have been brought up.

This prevents us from reacting to features of the boot CPU until
fairly late in the boot process. To solve this we allow a subset
of features (that are likely to be common to all clusters) to be
detected based on the boot CPU alone.
