GLIBC patch accepted: sync hwcap.h with the kernel

 

GLIBC patch for Power architecture accepted. The Linux kernel commit b4b56f9 introduced a new HWCAP 2 bit (PPC_FEATURE2_HTM_NOSC) to indicate that the kernel now aborts a memory transaction when a system call is made. GLIBC commit 3c13f28 synchronizes the hwcap.h header file with the kernel code.
