The ARM64 architecture does not support physical CPU HP today.
To avoid any possibility of a bug against such an architecture if defined
in future, check for the physical CPU HP case (not present) and
return an error on any such attempt.
On ARM64 virtual CPU Hotplug relies on the status value that can be
queried via the AML method _STA for the CPU object.
There are two conditions in which the CPU can be registered.
1) ACPI disabled.
2) ACPI enabled and the acpi_handle is available.
_STA evaluates to the CPU is both enabled and present.
(Note that in absence of the _STA method they are always in this
state).
If neither of these conditions is met the CPU is not 'yet' ready
to be used and -EPROBE_DEFER is returned.
Success occurs in the early attempt to register the CPUs if we
are booting with DT (no concept yet of vCPU HP) if not it succeeds
for already enabled CPUs when the ACPI Processor driver attaches to
them. Finally it may succeed via the CPU Hotplug code indicating that
the CPU is now enabled.
For ACPI if CONFIG_ACPI_PROCESSOR the only path to get to
arch_register_cpu() with that handle set is via
acpi_processor_hot_add_init() which is only called from an ACPI bus
scan in which _STA has already been queried there is no need to
repeat it here. Add a comment to remind us of this in the future.

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.
