[PATCH v3 07/12] arm64: cpu_ops: Make 'cpu_operations' pointer global instead of per-cpu

From: Jinjie Ruan

Date: Wed Jun 24 2026 - 05:27:53 EST


From: Will Deacon <will@xxxxxxxxxx>

'cpu_ops' is an NR_CPUS-length array of 'cpu_operations' pointers, which
theoretically allows for different CPUs to have different bringup and
hotplug backends.

In reality, this complexity exists only to deal with the case where CPU0
is not hotpluggable, so replace the array with a single, global pointer
and record separately whether or not they apply to the boot CPU. Update
the logic in init_cpu_ops() to enforce that only a single set of
'cpu_ops' is required.
