[PATCH 18/19] arm64: smp: Use generic HOTPLUG_PARALLEL machinery for CPU onlining

From: Will Deacon <will@kernel.org>
Date: 2026-09-07 16:41:42
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: arm64 port (aarch64 architecture), the rest · Maintainers: Catalin Marinas, Will Deacon, Linus Torvalds

Make the move from HOTPLUG_SPLIT_STARTUP to HOTPLUG_PARALLEL and
enable parallel CPU bringup on systems with PSCI v0.2 or later.

The fiddly part of all this is the error handling if a CPU fails to
come up, as we can no longer rely on a single global 'status' flag to
capture the details. Instead, the secondary_data::status field is
replaced with a zero-initialised byte array, with each byte representing
an error reason, so the total set of failures can be accurately captured
by the primary CPU.
