Hi,
I was working on getting the DL_HWCAP_MASK variable into tunables and I
noticed that it is not available for static binaries. We had thought of
using DL_HWCAP_MASK to mask out HWCAP_CPUID in aarch64 for testing and
turns out it will be ineffective on static binaries since DL_HWCAP_MASK
is ignored.
Does anybody know why DL_HWCAP_MASK is ignored for static binaries?
