Hi Raphael,

This feature is required in order to enable PMU counters direct
access from userspace only when the system is homogeneous.
This feature checks the model of each CPU brought online and compares it
to the boot CPU. If it differs then it is heterogeneous.
I t would be worth noting that this patch prevents heterogeneous CPUs
being brought online late if the system was uniform at boot time.

We should use boot_cpu_data rather than &per_cpu(cpu_data, 0) here. We
can make that __ro_after_init, and declare it in
arch/arm64/includ/asm/smp.h.

That caters for CPU0 being hotplugged off and then a different physical
CPU being hotplugged on in its place.

I think this should be added in a separate patch.

It looks like this is a missing include that we need today for
smp_processor_id(), so please spin that as a preparatory patch (with my
Acked-by).

Thanks,
Mark.
