The matches() routine for a capability must honor the "scope"
passed to it and return the proper results.
i.e, when passed with SCOPE_LOCAL_CPU, it should check the
status of the capability on the current CPU. This is used by
verify_local_cpu_capabilities() on a late secondary CPU to make
sure that it's compliant with the established system features.
However, ARM64_HAS_CACHE_{IDC/DIC} always checks the system wide
registers and this could mean that a late secondary CPU could return
"true" (since the CPU hasn't updated the system wide registers yet)
and thus lead the system in an inconsistent state, where
the system assumes it has IDC/DIC feature, while the new CPU
doesn't.

README
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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
