> HWCAP doesn't list all of the architecture's facilities. 

My list came from /proc/cpuinfo and I'm pretty sure it shows facilities that do
not require kernel support. ldisp comes to mind.
But, hey, why should it list all available facilities. That would be too easy.
</sarcasm>

tests/s390x-features to the rescue.
Yes, you're right. My machine does have the fpext facility.
And I do get a SIGILL for NNPA, as the corresponding facility is not installed
here.
So what you describe is correct.

Now, sarcasm is rarely constructive. So let me suggest  a --list option to
s390x-features
which lists all facilities (relevant to valgrind) and whether they are
supported on the host.

As for EmFail vs SIGILL I'd say we stick with the current scheme of using
EmFail
particularly as we cannot even generate a SIGILL.   Generating SIGILL is
definitely
plan on record as we want to do that for specification exceptions. We can
revisit this
issue at that time. What do you think.
