19 * Add a special note telling glibc's dynamic linker a fake hardware
20 * flavor that it will use to choose the search path for libraries in the
21 * same way it uses real hardware capabilities like "mmx".
22 * We supply "nosegneg" as the fake capability, to indicate that we
23 * do not like negative offsets in instructions using segment overrides,
24 * since we implement those inefficiently.  This makes it possible to
25 * install libraries optimized to avoid those access patterns in someplace
26 * like /lib/i686/tls/nosegneg.  Note that an /etc/ld.so.conf.d/file
27 * corresponding to the bits here is needed to make ldconfig work right.
28 * It should contain:
29 *	hwcap 1 nosegneg
30 * to match the mapping of bit to name that we give here.
31 *
32 * At runtime, the fake hardware feature will be considered to be present
33 * if its bit is set in the mask word.  So, we start with the mask 0, and
34 * at boot time we set VDSO_NOTE_NONEGSEG_BIT if running under Xen.
