Subject: [PATCH v2 05/23] arm64: cpufeature: Check arm64_ftr_regs[] before the first store
Date: Fri, 9 Oct 2026 11:07:16 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261009100738.31288-6-will@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261009100738.31288-1-will@kernel.org>
From: Fuad Tabba <fuad.tabba@linux.dev>
sort_ftr_regs() sorts nothing. It checks that arm64_ftr_regs[] is in
sys_id order, which the binary search in get_arm64_ftr_reg() relies on,
and that no register's fields overlap. It runs at the top of
init_cpu_features(), after the boot CPU's __cpuinfo_store_cpu(). A
subsequent patch makes __cpuinfo_store_cpu() look registers up in the
table.
Rename it validate_ftr_regs() and call it from smp_prepare_boot_cpu(),
ahead of cpuinfo_store_boot_cpu().
