[PATCH 06/19] arm64: smp: Tidy up cpuinfo init and cpufeature updates

Will Deacon will at kernel.org
Mon Sep 7 09:40:09 PDT 2026


Populating the 'cpuinfo_arm64' structure during CPU bringup and
subsequently checking/updating cpufeature structures is slightly
convoluted and differs unnecessarily between the boot CPU and secondary
CPUs.

Rework the code so that cpuinfo_store_cpu() is used to populate the
'cpuinfo_arm64' structure for each CPU, with secondary CPUs then calling
update_cpu_features() to update the global view of the available
features. This allows us to internalise the 'boot_cpu_data' in
cpufeature.c and paves the way for parallelising the ID register probing
during bring-up of secondary CPUs.
