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