Description

i tried to make the firmware for raspi 4 , but the smp seems to go wrong, the log is below:
libcpu\arm\cortex-a/start_gcc.S:425: undefined reference to secondary_cpu_c_start'`
it seems there is no code related to SMP for the BSP.

Research direction

Reproduce the Raspberry Pi 4 firmware build and inspect libcpu/arm/cortex-a/start_gcc.S around line 425, where the undefined reference to secondary_cpu_c_start is reported. Then review the Raspberry Pi 4 BSP for existing SMP-related code or documentation. Done means the SMP implementation or its documented status is clear and the firmware build no longer fails for the reported missing symbol.
