[PATCH 10/19] arm64: smp: Use generic HOTPLUG_CORE_SYNC_FULL machinery for CPU onlining

Will Deacon will at kernel.org
Mon Sep 7 09:40:13 PDT 2026


Select HOTPLUG_CORE_SYNC_FULL on arm64 to replace the 'cpu_running'
completion with the generic code for synchronising with secondary CPUs
during boot.
