[Xen-devel] [PATCH v4 10/10] xen/arm: Enable errata for secondary CPU on hotplug after the boot

[Mirela Simonovic <mirela.simonovic@xxxxxxxxxx>]

On boot, enabling errata workarounds will be triggered by the boot CPU
from start_xen(). On CPU hotplug (non-boot scenario) this would not be
done. This patch adds the code required to enable errata workarounds for
a CPU being hotplugged after the system boots. This is triggered using
a notifier. If the CPU fails to enable workarounds the notifier will
return an error and Xen will hit the BUG_ON() in notify_cpu_starting().
To avoid the BUG_ON() in an error case either enabling notifiers should
be fixed to return void (not propagate error to notify_cpu_starting())
and the errata notifier will always return success for CPU_STARTING
event, or the notify_cpu_starting() and other common code should be
fixed to expect an error at CPU_STARTING phase.

Changes in v4:
-Add includes alphabetically
-Added newline before the return in cpu_errata_notifier_init()
-Enabling capabilities returns an error if enabling a capability fails
 (enable_nonboot_cpu_caps() returns int instead of void). When enabling
 any of the capability fails the error is remembered into a variable and
 the remaining capabilities are enabled. If enabling multiple capabilities
 fails the error returned by enable_nonboot_cpu_caps() represents the
 error code of the last failure.
-Callback enable_nonboot_cpu_caps() can return an error when CPU_STARTING
 fires. This is not right because of the assumption that starting a CPU
 cannot fail at this phase. Consequently, if an error happens it will
 cause Xen to hit the BUG_ON() in notify_cpu_starting(). In future,
 either this notifier/enabling capabilities should be fixed to always
 return success/void, or notify_cpu_starting() and other common code
 should be fixed to expect an error at CPU_STARTING phase.
-Fix commit message to reflect changes in v4
