When bringing them to glibc, I would use ifuncs. SVE is isolatable to a few routines. LSE becomes scattered throughout libc, which is why an extra binary was proposed. Although for LSE it might work just as well to pull the atomic operations out to helper functions and ifunc those as well. It really all depends on the relative costs. r~ _______________________________________________ linaro-toolchain mailing list linaro-toolchain@lists.linaro.org https://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-toolchain
