[PATCH v6 20/21] arm64: Defer enabling pointer authentication on boot core

From: Marc Zyngier
Date: Mon Feb 01 2021 - 07:05:02 EST


From: Srinivas Ramana <sramana@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Defer enabling pointer authentication on boot core until
after its required to be enabled by cpufeature framework.
This will help in controlling the feature dynamically
with a boot parameter.
