Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: Expose VSX feature test
Date: Wed, 28 Mar 2018 08:20:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <klDQRjHsGNLyUfoTY_7IVfFKRRAhSEeHVIYr89lVsb-ufm0FM5_KS2Wok7jCSBaVZXDYTJFmlGNMT7uJxbt0dIyn3m2SLuzdyWsoALd0pi4=@protonmail.com> (raw)
Hope it's OK to submit a small change like this. Trying to familiarize myself
with the patch process.
My copyright assignment is underway.

Read the HWCAP auxval key to test for VSX support. Expose result through
the cpu_features interface.
Preliminary change to prepare for PowerPC optimized libmvec implementations
[BZ #20123]. Enables selecting optimized version at load time in ifunc
resolver.
* sysdeps/powerpc/cpu-features.h (cpu_features): Add vsx field.
* sysdeps/powerpc/cpu-features.c (init_cpu_features):
Feature test VSX availability.
