The spinwait booting method should only be used for platforms with older firmware without SBI HSM extension or M-mode firmware because spinwait method can't support cpu hotplug, kexec or sparse hartid. It is better to move the entire spinwait implementation to its own config which can be disabled if required. It is enabled by default to maintain backward compatibility and M-mode Linux.

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.
