[PATCH v2 3/4] arm64/cpufeature: Support AT_HWCAP3

Mark Brown broonie at kernel.org
Mon Jun 20 05:54:50 PDT 2022


We have filled the low 32 bits of both AT_HWCAP and AT_HWCAP2 so in order
to support further architecture features we must either start allocating
from the upper 32 bits or add a new AT_HWCAP3. Feedback from the glibc
developers was that AT_HWCAP3 would be cleaner so go with that.

This patch merely adds the glue required for AT_HWCAP3, meaning that we
start providing AT_HWCAP3 for ELF executables but no bits will be set in
it.
