The kernel entry points of both boot CPU (i.e., kernel_entry) and non- boot CPUs (i.e., smpboot_entry) may be physical address from BootLoader (in DA mode or identity-mapping PG mode). So we should jump to the link address before PG enabled (because DA is disabled at the same time) and just after DMW configured. Specifically: With some older firmwares, non-boot CPUs started with PG enabled, but this need firmware cooperation in the form of a temporary page table, which is deemed unnecessary. OTOH, latest firmware versions configure the non-boot CPUs to start in DA mode, so kernel-side changes are needed.

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.
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.
