[RFC PATCH v6 00/17] ILP32 for ARM64

V6 addresses comments collected for v5 series.
This is RFC because LTP tests fail (63 of 779).
But I don't expect that major changes are required
to fix regressions.

v3: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/3/704
v4: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/4/13/691
v5: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/9/29/911

v6:
 - time_t, __kenel_off_t and other types turned to be 32-bit
   for compatibility reasons (after v5 discussion);
 - related changes applied to ILP32 syscall table and handlers;
 - ILP32 VDSO code excluded. It's not mandatory, and caused questions
   during review process. We definitely make sure we will follow up
   with a VDSO later on because it is needed for performance reasons;
 - fixed build issues with different combinations of AARCH32 / ILP32
   enabling in config;
 - ILP32 TLS bug fixed;
 - entry32-common.S introduced to hold wrappers needed for both ILP32
   and AARCH32_EL0;
 - documentation updated according to latest changes;
 - rebased to the current head;
 - coding style re-checked.

Andrew Pinski (13):
  arm64: ensure the kernel is compiled for LP64
  arm64: rename COMPAT to AARCH32_EL0 in Kconfig
  arm64: change some CONFIG_COMPAT over to use CONFIG_AARCH32_EL0
    instead
  arm64:ilp32: share signal structures between ILP32 and LP64 ABIs
  arm64: introduce is_a32_task and is_a32_thread (for AArch32 compat)
  arm64:ilp32: add is_ilp32_compat_{task,thread} and TIF_32BIT_AARCH64
  arm64:ilp32: share HWCAP between LP64 and ILP32
  arm64:ilp32 use the native LP64 'start_thread' for ILP32 threads
  arm64:ilp32: support core dump generation for ILP32
  ptrace: Allow compat to use the native siginfo
  arm64:ilp32: add sys_ilp32.c and a separate table (in entry.S) to use
    it
  arm64:ilp32: use the native siginfo instead of the compat siginfo
  arm64:ilp32: add ARM64_ILP32 to Kconfig

Jan Dakinevich (1):
  ilp32: common 32-bit wrappers

Philipp Tomsich (2):
  arm64:ilp32: add documentation on the ILP32 ABI for ARM64
  arm64:ilp32: change COMPAT_ELF_PLATFORM to report a a subplatform for
    ILP32

Yury Norov (1):
  aarch64: ilp32: use generic stat64 structure
