Subject: [PATCH 1/2] x86_64: add pseudo-features for 32-bit compat syscall
Date: Thu, 10 Jul 2008 16:22:56 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <487699D0.4030508@goop.org> (raw)
Add pseudo-feature bits to describe whether the CPU supports sysenter
and/or syscall from ia32-compat userspace. This removes a hardcoded
test in vdso32-setup.
