At the moment we run through the arm64_features capability list for
each CPU and set the capability if one of the CPU supports it. This
could be problematic in a heterogeneous system with differing capabilities.
Delay the CPU feature checks until all the enabled CPUs are up(i.e,
smp_cpus_done(), so that we can make better decisions based on the
overall system capability. Once we decide and advertise the capabilities
the alternatives can be applied. From this state, we cannot roll back
a feature to disabled based on the values from a new hotplugged CPU,
due to the runtime patching and other reasons. So, for all new CPUs,
we need to make sure that they have the established system capabilities.
Failing which, we bring the CPU down, preventing it from turning online.
Once the capabilities are decided, any new CPU booting up goes through
verification to ensure that it has all the enabled capabilities and also
invokes the respective enable() method on the CPU.
The CPU errata checks are not delayed and is still executed per-CPU
to detect the respective capabilities. If we ever come across a non-errata
capability that needs to be checked on each-CPU, we could introduce them via
a new capability table(or introduce a flag), which can be processed per CPU.
The next patch will make the feature checks use the system wide
safe value of a feature register.
NOTE: The enable() methods associated with the capability is scheduled
on all the CPUs (which is the only use case at the moment). If we need
a different type of 'enable()' which only needs to be run once on any CPU,
we should be able to handle that when needed.
