Subject: [PATCH v11 12/16] arm64: Prevent offlining first CPU with 32-bit EL0 on mismatched system

From: Will Deacon <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 30 Jul 2021 12:24:39 +0100

If we want to support 32-bit applications, then when we identify a CPU
with mismatched 32-bit EL0 support we must ensure that we will always
have an active 32-bit CPU available to us from then on. This is important
for the scheduler, because is_cpu_allowed() will be constrained to 32-bit
CPUs for compat tasks and forced migration due to a hotplug event will
hang if no 32-bit CPUs are available.

On detecting a mismatch, prevent offlining of either the mismatching CPU
if it is 32-bit capable, or find the first active 32-bit capable CPU
otherwise.
