[PATCH v3 3/9] ARM: bugs: Check in the vtable instead of defined aliases

From: Linus Walleij <hidden>
Date: 2024-03-11 09:16:16
Also in: llvm
Subsystem: arm port, the rest · Maintainers: Russell King, Linus Torvalds

Instead of checking if cpu_check_bugs() exist, check for this
callback directly in the CPU vtable: this is better because the
function is just a define to the vtable entry and this is why
the code works. But we want to be able to specify a proper
function for cpu_check_bugs() so look into the vtable instead.

In bugs.c assign PROC_VTABLE(switch_mm) instead of
assigning cpu_do_switch_mm where again this is just a define
into the vtable: this makes it possible to make
cpu_do_switch_mm() into a real function.
