Subject: [PATCH v3 3/4] Add hwcap2 for x86
Date: Thu, 13 Oct 2016 16:02:24 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1476367345-25628-4-git-send-email-grzegorz.andrejczuk@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1476367345-25628-1-git-send-email-grzegorz.andrejczuk@intel.com>

Add hwcap2 attribute for x86.
Reserve 1st bit of HWCAP2 for exposing Xeon Phi ring 3 monitor/mwait.
With this userspace apps can detect Ring 3 MONITOR/MWAIT instructions.
