From: Jean-Philippe Brucker <jean-philippe@xxxxxxxxxx> When a CPU is marked as disabled, but online capable in the MADT, PSCI applies some firmware policy to control when it can be brought online. PSCI returns DENIED to a CPU_ON request if this is not currently permitted. The OS can learn the current policy from the _STA enabled bit. Handle the PSCI DENIED return code gracefully instead of printing an error. Note the alternatives to the PSCI cpu_boot() callback do not return -EPERM so the change in smp.c has no affect. See https://developer.arm.com/documentation/den0022/f/?lang=en page 58.

Should they do so in future, that may well indicate that they now support similar refusal to boot. --- arch/arm64/kernel/psci.c | 2 +- arch/arm64/kernel/smp.c | 3 ++- 2 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/arch/arm64/kernel/psci.c b/arch/arm64/kernel/psci.c index 29a8e444db83..fabd732d0a2d 100644 --- a/arch/arm64/kernel/psci.c +++ b/arch/arm64/kernel/psci.c @@ -40,7 +40,7 @@ static int cpu_psci_cpu_boot(unsigned int cpu) { phys_addr_t pa_secondary_entry = __pa_symbol(secondary_entry); int err = psci_ops.cpu_on(cpu_logical_map(cpu), pa_secondary_entry); - if (err) + if (err && err != -EPERM) pr_err("failed to boot CPU%d (%d)\n", cpu, err); return err; diff --git a/arch/arm64/kernel/smp.c b/arch/arm64/kernel/smp.c index 4ced34f62dab..dc0e0b3ec2d4 100644 --- a/arch/arm64/kernel/smp.c +++ b/arch/arm64/kernel/smp.c @@ -132,7 +132,8 @@ int __cpu_up(unsigned int cpu, struct task_struct *idle) /* Now bring the CPU into our world */ ret = boot_secondary(cpu, idle); if (ret) { - pr_err("CPU%u: failed to boot: %d\n", cpu, ret); + if (ret != -EPERM) + pr_err("CPU%u: failed to boot: %d\n", cpu, ret); return ret; } -- 2.39.2
