Subject: setarch question, uname -m
Date: Tue, 27 May 2014 01:34:29 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <201405270134.29753.sweet_f_a@gmx.de> (raw)

Hi,

I wonder whether it would be possible (and useful) to always support
  setarch $(uname -m) ...
like we are trying in tests/ts/misc/setarch.

Currently we only support these hardcoded transistions where a lot of archs are missing.
Couldn't we just add something like
 {PER_LINUX$word_size, un.machine, un.machine}
to transitions dynamically at runtime? Or wouldn't it make any sense?

cu,
Rudi
