Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: Add HWCAP2 aux entry
Date: Thu, 18 Apr 2013 13:33:11 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <31546.1366255991@ale.ozlabs.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <27144.1366001074@ale.ozlabs.ibm.com>
We are currently out of free bits in AT_HWCAP. With POWER8, we have
several hardware features that we need to advertise.
Tested on POWER and x86.

Should be addressed with this version.
