[PATCH v2 5/6] arm64: Advertise CPUs capable of running 32-bit applications in sysfs

Will Deacon will at kernel.org
Mon Nov 9 16:30:21 EST 2020


Since 32-bit applications will be killed if they are caught trying to
execute on a 64-bit-only CPU in a mismatched system, advertise the set
of 32-bit capable CPUs to userspace in sysfs.

+		AArch32 (32-bit ARM) applications. If present, the same format as
+		/sys/devices/system/cpu/{offline,online,possible,present} is used.
+		If absent, then all or none of the CPUs can execute AArch32
+		applications and execve() will behave accordingly.
