[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/2] fix compilation on FreeBSD

[Thomas Monjalon]

The compilation was broken on FreeBSD due to the commit
for auxv, implemented only for Linux in the common files.

Thomas Monjalon (2):
  eal: fix build with glibc < 2.16

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 1/2] eal: fix build with glibc < 2.16

[Thomas Monjalon]

The fake getauxval function does not use its parameter.
So the compiler raised this error:
	lib/librte_eal/common/eal_common_cpuflags.c:25:25: error:
	unused parameter 'type'

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 2/2] eal: fix build on FreeBSD

[Thomas Monjalon]

The auxiliary vector read is implemented only for Linux.
It could be done with procstat_getauxv() for FreeBSD.

Since the commit below, the auxiliary vector functions
are compiled for every architectures, including x86
which is tested with FreeBSD.

This patch is only adding a fake/empty implementation
of auxiliary vector read, for compilation on FreeBSD.

Makes sense to me.  Thanks for fixing this up, Thomas.  Sorry for
turning it sideways.  I'll make sure to test on freebsd next time.
