What toolchain are you using? With your change I still get errors about the expression not being constant: In file included from ../lib/eal/arm/include/rte_pause.h:13, from ../lib/eal/include/generic/rte_spinlock.h:25, from ../lib/eal/arm/include/rte_spinlock.h:17, from ../lib/telemetry/telemetry.c:20: ../lib/eal/arm/include/rte_pause_64.h: In function ‘rte_wait_until_equal_16’: ../lib/eal/arm/include/rte_pause_64.h:156:23: error: expression in static assertion is not constant 156 | static_assert(__builtin_constant_p(memorder), "memory order is not a constant"); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I'm cross-compiling with GCC v12.2 using the config/arm/arm64_armv8_linux_gcc cross-file, and enabling RTE_ARM_USE_WFE by uncommenting it in config/arm/meson.build and setting its value to true.
