[PATCH v4 00/14] An alternative series for asymmetric AArch32 systems

Hello folks,

Here's version four of the wonderful patches I previously posted here:

  v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20201027215118.27003-1-will@kernel.org
  v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20201109213023.15092-1-will@kernel.org
  v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20201113093720.21106-1-will@kernel.org

and which started life as a reimplementation of some patches from Qais:

  https://lore.kernel.org/r/20201021104611.2744565-1-qais.yousef@arm.com

The aim of this series is to allow 32-bit ARM applications to run on
arm64 SoCs where not all of the CPUs support the 32-bit instruction set.
Unfortunately, such SoCs are real and will continue to be productised
over the next few years at least.

Changes in v4 include:

  * Take into account the cpuset 'allowed' mask on exec
  * Print a warning if we forcefully override the affinity, like we do
    in select_fallback_rq()
  * Rename arch_cpu_allowed_mask() to arch_task_cpu_possible_mask()
  * Added a comment to adjust_compat_task_affinity()

Cheers,

Will
