[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 08/12] Add CPU flag checking for IBM Power architecture

Chao Zhu bjzhuc at cn.ibm.com
Fri Sep 26 11:36:22 CEST 2014


Intel processors contain registers to identify CPU flags, DPDK reads the
registers to get the CPU flags. IBM Power processor doesn't have such
registers. This patch uses aux vector software register to get CPU flags
and add CPU flag checking support for IBM Power architecture.
