Unexpected variation in certain system register values across CPUs is an indicator of potential problems with a system. The kernel expects CPUs to be mostly identical in terms of supported features, even in systems with heterogeneous CPUs, with uniform instruction set support being critical for the correct operation of userspace. To help detect issues early where hardware violates the expectations of the kernel, this patch adds simple runtime sanity checks on important ID registers in the bring up path of each CPU. Where CPUs are fundamentally mismatched, set TAINT_CPU_OUT_OF_SPEC. Given that the kernel assumes CPUs are identical feature wise, let's not pretend that we expect such configurations to work. Supporting such configurations would require massive rework, and hopefully they will never exist.
