A secondary CPU could fail to come online due to insufficient capabilities and could simply die or loop in the kernel. e.g, a CPU with no support for the selected kernel PAGE_SIZE loops in kernel with MMU turned off. or a hotplugged CPU which doesn't have one of the advertised system capability will die during the activation. There is no way to synchronise the status of the failing CPU back to the master. This patch solves the issue by adding a field to the secondary_data which can be updated by the failing CPU. If the secondary CPU fails even before turning the MMU on, it updates the status in a special variable reserved in the head.txt section to make sure that the update can be cache invalidated safely without possible sharing of cache write back granule. Here are the possible states : -1. CPU_MMU_OFF - Initial value set by the master CPU, this value indicates that the CPU could not turn the MMU on, hence the status could not be reliably updated in the secondary_data. Instead, the CPU has updated the status @ __early_cpu_boot_status. 0. CPU_BOOT_SUCCESS - CPU has booted successfully. 1. CPU_KILL_ME - CPU has invoked cpu_ops->die, indicating the master CPU to synchronise by issuing a cpu_ops->cpu_kill. 2. CPU_STUCK_IN_KERNEL - CPU couldn't invoke die(), instead is looping in the kernel. This information could be used by say, kexec to check if it is really safe to do a kexec reboot. 3. CPU_PANIC_KERNEL - CPU detected some serious issues which requires kernel to crash immediately. The secondary CPU cannot call panic() until it has initialised the GIC. This flag can be used to instruct the master to do so.
