[PATCH 17/19] arm64: smp: Pass secondary CPU boot parameters via firmware if possible

Mon Sep 7 09:40:20 PDT 2026
In preparation for parallel bringup of secondary CPUs, the global
'secondary_data' structure used for initial paramater passing must be
localised.
Pass the idle 'task_struct' pointer for secondary CPUs directly to
->cpu_boot() if the backend supports it.
