Subject[PATCH v4 07/14] sched: Introduce restrict_cpus_allowed_ptr() to limit task CPU affinity
Date
Asymmetric systems may not offer the same level of userspace ISA support
across all CPUs, meaning that some applications cannot be executed by
some CPUs. As a concrete example, upcoming arm64 big.LITTLE designs do
not feature support for 32-bit applications on both clusters.

Although userspace can carefully manage the affinity masks for such
tasks, one place where it is particularly problematic is execve()
because the CPU on which the execve() is occurring may be incompatible
with the new application image. In such a situation, it is desirable to
restrict the affinity mask of the task and ensure that the new image is
entered on a compatible CPU. From userspace's point of view, this looks
the same as if the incompatible CPUs have been hotplugged off in its
affinity mask.

In preparation for restricting the affinity mask for compat tasks on
arm64 systems without uniform support for 32-bit applications, introduce
a restrict_cpus_allowed_ptr(), which allows the current affinity mask
for a task to be shrunk to the intersection of a parameter mask.
