Subject: [PATCH 1/5] ARM: Add a neon-intrinsics.h header like on arm64
Date: Fri, 27 Mar 2026 12:30:49 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260327113047.4043492-8-ardb+git@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260327113047.4043492-7-ardb+git@google.com>
From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>
Add a header asm/neon-intrinsics.h similar to the one that arm64 has.
This makes it possible for NEON intrinsics code to be shared seamlessly
between ARM and arm64.
Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>
