[PATCH v1 4/4] xen/arm: mpu: Disable secondary cpu bringup
Posted by Ayan Kumar Halder 3 months, 1 week ago
Secondary cpus are put in WFE state. We do not support SMP at this time.

Hi Ayan,

The title is a bit confusing. It implies seconary CPU bringup used to 
work on the MPU. However, you are adding a stub for enable_secondary_cpu_mm.

Also, I am not entirely this is really sufficient to disable CPU 
bringup. There will be plenty of initialization done for secondary CPUs.

I would suggest to update NR_CPUS to 1 for MPU so we will fail early.

For the title, how about

xen/arm: mpu: Implement a dummy enable_secondary_cpu_mm

Can we print a message so it is easier to spot that 
enable_secondary_cpu_mm is not properly implemented?

I agree. init_secondary() has already been invoked before this.

Yes, I will do this.

yes, something like this

PRINT("- SMP NOT SUPPORTED -\r\n")
