Now that we have a consistent place to initialize CPU context registers early in the boot path, let's also initialize the per-cpu offset here. This makes the primary and secondary boot paths more consistent, and allows for the use of per-cpu operations earlier, which will be necessary for instrumentation with KCSAN. Note that smp_prepare_boot_cpu() still needs to re-initialize CPU0's offset as immediately prior to this the per-cpu areas may be reallocated, and hence the boot-time offset may be stale. A comment is added to make this clear.

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.
