Subject: [PATCH 3/6] UML - Improve detection of host cmov
Date: Fri, 2 Nov 2007 11:40:14 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20071102154014.GA10263@c2.user-mode-linux.org> (raw)
From: Karol Swietlicki <magotari@gmail.com>
This patch introduces a new way of checking for the cmov instruction.
I use signal handling instead of reading /proc/cpuinfo.
[ jdike - Fiddled the asm to make it obvious that it didn't mess with
any in-use registers and made test_for_host_cmov void ]
