extern uint64_t android_getCpuFeatures(void);

/* The list of feature flags for ANDROID_CPU_FAMILY_ARM that can be
 * recognized by the library (see note below for 64-bit ARM). Value details
 * are:
 *
 *   VFPv2:
 *     CPU supports the VFPv2 instruction set. Many, but not all, ARMv6 CPUs
 *     support these instructions. VFPv2 is a subset of VFPv3 so this will
 *     be set whenever VFPv3 is set too.
 *
 *   ARMv7:
 *     CPU supports the ARMv7-A basic instruction set.
 *     This feature is mandated by the 'armeabi-v7a' ABI.
 *
 *   VFPv3:
 *     CPU supports the VFPv3-D16 instruction set, providing hardware FPU
 *     support for single and double precision floating point registers.
 *     Note that only 16 FPU registers are available by default, unless
 *     the D32 bit is set too. This feature is also mandated by the
 *     'armeabi-v7a' ABI.
 *
 *   VFP_D32:
 *     CPU VFP optional extension that provides 32 FPU registers,
 *     instead of 16. Note that ARM mandates this feature is the 'NEON'
 *     feature is implemented by the CPU.
 *
 *   NEON:
 *     CPU FPU supports "ARM Advanced SIMD" instructions, also known as
 *     NEON. Note that this mandates the VFP_D32 feature as well, per the
 *     ARM Architecture specification.
 *
 *   VFP_FP16:
 *     Half-width floating precision VFP extension. If set, the CPU
 *     supports instructions to perform floating-point operations on
 *     16-bit registers. This is part of the VFPv4 specification, but
 *     not mandated by any Android ABI.
 *
 *   VFP_FMA:
 *     Fused multiply-accumulate VFP instructions extension. Also part of
 *     the VFPv4 specification, but not mandated by any Android ABI.
 *
 *   NEON_FMA:
 *     Fused multiply-accumulate NEON instructions extension. Optional
 *     extension from the VFPv4 specification, but not mandated by any
 *     Android ABI.
 *
 *   IDIV_ARM:
 *     Integer division available in ARM mode. Only available
 *     on recent CPUs (e.g. Cortex-A15).
 *
 *   IDIV_THUMB2:
 *     Integer division available in Thumb-2 mode. Only available
 *     on recent CPUs (e.g. Cortex-A15).
 *
 *   iWMMXt:
 *     Optional extension that adds MMX registers and operations to an
 *     ARM CPU. This is only available on a few XScale-based CPU designs
 *     sold by Marvell. Pretty rare in practice.
 *
 * If you want to tell the compiler to generate code that targets one of
 * the feature set above, you should probably use one of the following
 * flags (for more details, see technical note at the end of this file):
 *
 *   -mfpu=vfp
 *   -mfpu=vfpv2
 *     These are equivalent and tell GCC to use VFPv2 instructions for
 *     floating-point operations. Use this if you want your code to
 *     run on *some* ARMv6 devices, and any ARMv7-A device supported
 *     by Android.
 *
 *     Generated code requires VFPv2 feature.
 *
 *   -mfpu=vfpv3-d16
 *     Tell GCC to use VFPv3 instructions (using only 16 FPU registers).
 *     This should be generic code that runs on any CPU that supports the
 *     'armeabi-v7a' Android ABI. Note that no ARMv6 CPU supports this.
 *
 *     Generated code requires VFPv3 feature.
 *
 *   -mfpu=vfpv3
 *     Tell GCC to use VFPv3 instructions with 32 FPU registers.
 *     Generated code requires VFPv3|VFP_D32 features.
 *
 *   -mfpu=neon
 *     Tell GCC to use VFPv3 instructions with 32 FPU registers, and
 *     also support NEON intrinsics (see <arm_neon.h>).
 *     Generated code requires VFPv3|VFP_D32|NEON features.
 *
 *   -mfpu=vfpv4-d16
 *     Generated code requires VFPv3|VFP_FP16|VFP_FMA features.
 *
 *   -mfpu=vfpv4
 *     Generated code requires VFPv3|VFP_FP16|VFP_FMA|VFP_D32 features.
 *
 *   -mfpu=neon-vfpv4
 *     Generated code requires VFPv3|VFP_FP16|VFP_FMA|VFP_D32|NEON|NEON_FMA
 *     features.
 *
 *   -mcpu=cortex-a7
 *   -mcpu=cortex-a15
 *     Generated code requires VFPv3|VFP_FP16|VFP_FMA|VFP_D32|
 *                             NEON|NEON_FMA|IDIV_ARM|IDIV_THUMB2
 *     This flag implies -mfpu=neon-vfpv4.
 *
 *   -mcpu=iwmmxt
 *     Allows the use of iWMMXt instrinsics with GCC.
 *
 * IMPORTANT NOTE: These flags should only be tested when
 * android_getCpuFamily() returns ANDROID_CPU_FAMILY_ARM, i.e. this is a
 * 32-bit process.
 *
 * When running a 64-bit ARM process on an ARMv8 CPU,
 * android_getCpuFeatures() will return a different set of bitflags
 * (currently always 0).
