Subject: [PATCH 1/6] arm64: add cpu_capabilities bitmap
Date: Fri, 14 Nov 2014 15:54:07 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1415980452-20366-2-git-send-email-andre.przywara@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1415980452-20366-1-git-send-email-andre.przywara@arm.com>

For taking note if at least one CPU in the system needs a bug
workaround or would benefit from a code optimization, we create a new
bitmap to hold (artificial) feature bits.
Since elf_hwcap is part of the userland ABI, we keep it alone and
introduce a new data structure for that (along with some accessors).
