Subject: [PATCH 3/8] arm64: Rearrange CPU errata workaround checks
Right now we run through the work around checks on a CPU
from __cpuinfo_store_cpu. There are some problems with that:
1) We initialise the system wide CPU feature registers only after the
Boot CPU updates its cpuinfo. Now, if a work around depends on the
variance of a CPU ID feature (e.g, check for Cache Line size mismatch),
we have no way of performing it cleanly for the boot CPU.
2) It is out of place, invoked from __cpuinfo_store_cpu() in cpuinfo.c. It
is not an obvious place for that.
This patch rearranges the CPU specific capability(aka work around) checks.
1) At the moment we use verify_local_cpu_capabilities() to check if a new
CPU has all the system advertised features. Use this for the secondary CPUs
to perform the work around check. For that we rename
verify_local_cpu_capabilities() => check_local_cpu_capabilities()
which:
If the system wide capabilities haven't been initialised (i.e, the CPU
is activated at the boot), update the system wide detected work arounds.
Otherwise (i.e a CPU hotplugged in later) verify that this CPU conforms to the
system wide capabilities.
2) Boot CPU updates the work arounds from smp_prepare_boot_cpu() after we have
initialised the system wide CPU feature values.
