The arm64_cpu_capabilities::cpu_enable callbacks are intended for cpu-local feature enablement (e.g. poking system registers). These get called for each online CPU when boot/system cpucaps get finalized and enabled, and get called whenever a CPU is subsequently onlined. For KPTI with the ARM64_UNMAP_KERNEL_AT_EL0 cpucap, we use the kpti_install_ng_mappings() function as the cpu_enable callback. This does a mixture of cpu-local configuration (setting VBAR_EL1 to the appropriate trampoline vectors) and some global configuration (rewriting the swapper page tables to sue non-glboal mappings) that must happen at most once. This patch splits kpti_install_ng_mappings() into a cpu-local cpu_enable_kpti() initialization function and a system-wide kpti_install_ng_mappings() function. The cpu_enable_kpti() function is responsible for selecting the necessary cpu-local vectors each time a CPU is onlined, and the kpti_install_ng_mappings() function performs the one-time rewrite of the translation tables too use non-global mappings. Splitting the two makes the code a bit easier to follow and also allows the page table rewriting code to be marked as __init such that it can be freed after use.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
