From: Ben Crocker Date: Fri, 10 Feb 2017 23:08:07 +0000 (-0500) Subject: gallivm: Override getHostCPUName() "generic" w/ "pwr8" (v4) X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b934aae36410e09892e772b26f61fed5d037fc69;p=mesa.git gallivm: Override getHostCPUName() "generic" w/ "pwr8" (v4) If llvm::sys::getHostCPUName() returns "generic", override it with "pwr8" (on PPC64LE). This is a work-around for a bug in LLVM: a table entry for "POWER8NVL" is missing, resulting in (big-endian) "generic" being returned on little-endian Power8NVL systems. The result is that code that attempts to load the least significant 32 bits of a 64-bit quantity in memory loads the wrong half. This omission should be fixed in the next version of LLVM (4.0), but this work-around should be left in place in case some future version of POWER also ends up unrepresented in LLVM's table. This workaround fixes failures in the Piglit arb_gpu_shader_fp64 conversion tests on POWER8NVL processors. (V4: add similar comment in the code.)
