    arm64: Honor nosmp kernel command line option · e75118a7
    Suzuki K Poulose authored
    Passing "nosmp" should boot the kernel with a single processor, without
    provision to enable secondary CPUs even if they are present. "nosmp" is
    implemented by setting maxcpus=0. At the moment we still mark the secondary
    CPUs present even with nosmp, which allows the userspace to bring them
    up. This patch corrects the smp_prepare_cpus() to honor the maxcpus == 0.
    
    Commit 44dbcc93 ("arm64: Fix behavior of maxcpus=N") fixed the
    behavior for maxcpus >= 1, but broke maxcpus = 0.
