[PATCH 00/19] arm64: Implement parallel CPU onlining with PSCI v0.2+

[Will Deacon]

Hi folks,

This series implements CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PARALLEL for arm64 by utilising
the argument to CPU_ON introduced in PSCI v0.2. This supersedes the
previous series from Jinjie [1], and I'm grateful to him for his support
getting this alternative version in shape for posting.

I previously spoke at KVM forum about this work last year:

There are three major benefits realised by these changes:

1. We ditch our home-brew secondary CPU synchronisation in favour of
   constructs in the core code.

2. They offer a performance advantage on some platforms, where getting a
   CPU into the kernel can take time. I'm hoping Jinjie can provide
   numbers in this case.

3. When used inside a confidential guest, they provide protection
   against a malicious VMM that puts secondary CPUs into the guest
   kernel after the onlining operation has timed out.

The first four patches are small changes to the generic code to make it
a little more "Arm-shaped" but the rest of the series is largely
confined to the arm64 architecture and PSCI driver code.

The series is based on -rc2, as it otherwise conflicts with Fuad's GMID
fix that was recently merged upstream.

All feedback welcome,

Will
