Hi all,

Here is v7 of the asymmetric 32-bit support patches that 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
  v4: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20201124155039.13804-1-will@kernel.org
  v5: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20201208132835.6151-1-will@kernel.org
  v6: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210518094725.7701-1-will@kernel.org

There was also a nice LWN writeup in case you've forgotten what this is
about:

	https://lwn.net/Articles/838339/

Changes since v6 include:

  * Bug fix for a pre-existing scheduler migration bug spotted by
    Valentin (nice work!). I've put this patch at the start.

  * Prevent execve() of a 32-bit program from a 64-bit deadline task if
    the forced affinity would violate admission control

  * Fixed a memory leak and missing rcu_read_lock() spotted by Qais
    (thanks!)

  * Handle race between forcing affinity on execve() and CPU hot-unplug

  * Updated documentation

  * Introduce task_cpu_possible() macro as suggested by Peter Z

  * Added some acks/reviewed-by tags, although I didn't include these
    where patches have changed significantly since last time.

Series now based on v5.13-rc3 to avoid conflicting with arm64 cpucaps
rework merged at -rc2.

Cheers,

Will
