Adhemerval,

I am looking at the cpu-features setup from x86 and trying to implement
that for aarch64 but there are some things I don't understand about the
code and I was hoping you (or someone else on the list) could help me.
I have attached the patch I have so far, this code doesn't contain any
use of the cpu features code but is just the code that tries to initialize
it on start up.  Right now it doesn't build and I am not sure what I am
missing.

Specifically I have these questions.

How is cpu-features-offsets.sym used and what do I need in this file?
I think this may be how _dl_aarch64_cpu_features is supposed to be
defined but I am not sure.

I obviously need something in init_cpu_features to check if mrs is
emulated in the kernel but I am not sure how to do that.  I know it
involves the HWCAPs but I am not sure how to access them, do I need a
sym file to get access to that too?  Something like
sysdeps/arm/rtld-global-offsets.sym?

Right now my build dies with:

<stdin>:2:102: error: implicit declaration of function ‘rtld_global_ro_offsetof’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
<stdin>:2:127: error: ‘_dl_aarch64_cpu_features’ undeclared (first use in this function)
<stdin>:2:127: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in
<stdin>:3:82: error: invalid application of ‘sizeof’ to incomplete type ‘struct cpu_features’
