Its not so much a problem with your patch, but with the current layout of the cpuflag interface. Because each cpuflag is unique to its architecture, the cpuflag api cannot be used in any common code in a portable way, and as the first proposal on the list to support a new architecture, I think you need to address this, because it will lead to permenently non functional libraries and applications that can only build on one arch if you dont Neil > On 2014/11/24 22:14, Neil Horman wrote: > >On Sun, Nov 23, 2014 at 08:22:16PM -0500, Chao Zhu wrote: > >>IBM Power processor doesn't have CPU flag hardware registers.
