This partially reverts commit f82e9672ad89ea1ef40bbe1af71478e255e87c5e Author: Siddhesh Poyarekar aarch64: Allow overriding HWCAP_CPUID feature check using HWCAP_MASK The idea was to make it possible to disable cpuid based ifunc resolution in glibc by changing the hwcap mask which the user could already control. However the hwcap mask has an orthogonal role: it specifies additional library search paths for the dynamic linker. So "cpuid" got added to the search paths when it was set in the default mask (HWCAP_IMPORTANT), which is not useful behaviour, the hwcap masking should not be reused in the cpu features code. Meanwhile there is a tunable to set the cpu explicitly so it is possible to disable the cpuid based dispatch without using a hwcap mask: GLIBC_TUNABLES=glibc.tune.cpu=generic 2018-06-28 Szabolcs Nagy * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/aarch64/cpu-features.c (init_cpu_features): Use dl_hwcap without masking. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/aarch64/dl-procinfo.h (HWCAP_IMPORTANT): Remove HWCAP_CPUID. --- sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/aarch64/cpu-features.c | 5 +---- sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/aarch64/dl-procinfo.h | 5 ++--- 2 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-)
