glibc 2.16 has this. I've also got another pending patch set that implements getauxval inside qemu if it's not present in the system library. Which means that we can eliminate some of the ifdefery seen here. >> + unsigned long hwcap = getauxval(AT_HWCAP); >> + use_idiv_instructions = hwcap & (HWCAP_ARM_IDIVA | HWCAP_ARM_IDIVT); > > Doesn't this mean we'll try to use the ARM division > insns even if the CPU only supports the Thumb encodings? > I think you should only be testing for whether HWCAP_ARM_IDIVA > is set. I suppose. Though later kernels have actually merged these bits: uapi/asm/hwcap.h:27:#define HWCAP_IDIV (HWCAP_IDIVA | HWCAP_IDIVT) r~
