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

Will Deacon will at kernel.org
Tue Oct 27 17:51:17 EDT 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.
