            Bug ID: 344
           Summary: Broken CPU feature discovery for armv8
           Product: DPDK
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: ARM
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: meson
          Assignee: dev@dpdk.org
          Reporter: i.maximets@samsung.com
  Target Milestone: ---

To check available cpuflags both build systems (make and meson) uses compil=
er
invocations with provided machine flags which is '-march=3Darmv8-a+crc'.
It makes no much sense getting defines from the cc with non-native arch as
it will have nothing common with real cpu features available.
This leads to inability using dpdk on armv8 platform without crc support due
to illegal instructions.

'-march=3Dnative' is only available since GCC 8. Also, DPDK uses
'-march=3Darmv8-a+crc'
as a default armv8 machine regardless of fact that crc extension is optiona=
l.
