Subject: [Linux-ia64] Patch to set the OSFXSR bit of CR4
Date: Tue, 31 Jul 2001 22:57:38 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <marc-linux-ia64-105590693005975@msgid-missing> (raw)
Linux should enable the ia32 "streaming SIMD" instructions (the PIII
extensions of MMX). These instructions work on the Itanium processor under
seamless. Currently Linux disables them by clearing the OSFXSR bit of CR4.
Here's the patch for linux R2.4.5.

> #define IA32_CR4 (1 << 9) /* Set OSFXSR to enable streaming
SIMD */
