The core kernel already supports parallel bringup of secondary CPUs (aka HOTPLUG_PARALLEL). The x86 and MIPS architectures already use HOTPLUG_PARALLEL and ARM is also moving toward it. On RISC-V, there is no arch specific global data accessed in the RISC-V secondary CPU bringup path so enabling HOTPLUG_PARALLEL for RISC-V would only require: 1) Providing RISC-V specific arch_cpuhp_kick_ap_alive() 2) Calling cpuhp_ap_sync_alive() from smp_callin() This patch is tested natively with OpenSBI on QEMU RV64 virt machine with 64 cores and also tested with KVM RISC-V guest with 32 VCPUs.

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 reStructuredText 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.
