[PATCH 11/19] arm64: smp: Use generic HOTPLUG_SPLIT_STARTUP machinery for CPU onlining

Mon Sep 7 09:40:14 PDT 2026


In preparation for enabling parallel bringup of secondary CPUs on arm64,
take the baby step of moving from HOTPLUG_CORE_SYNC_FULL to
HOTPLUG_SPLIT_STARTUP.

Rework the cpu_die_early() path to use a private cpumask, otherwise
clearing the incoming CPU from the present mask in the 'kick' stage will
prevent the hotplug stage machine from progressing and
arch_cpuhp_cleanup_kick_cpu() will not be called.
