Please state what it is changed to. I guess CONFIG_AARCH32_EL0. Longer
commit log is always better.

Do we still need the top CONFIG_COMPAT for signal32.h? We don't use the
signal32 infrastructure for ILP32.

Same here, we have another #ifdef CONFIG_COMPAT above the #include.

Can you return an appropriate error code here?

So for ILP32, will we route ptrace calls via compat_arch_ptrace? Some
explanation for this code would help as it doesn't look like a simple
CONFIG_COMPAT conversion.

As per the kernel coding style, the multi-line comment should be:

/*
* Some functions are needed for compat ptrace but we don't define
* them if we don't have AARCH32 support compiled in.
*/

Maybe it gets clearer in subsequent patches on how this interacts with
ptrace. But at this stage in the series, COMPAT cannot be defined
without CONFIG_AARCH32_EL0, so the above could be removed.
