Thank you for the patch. I see that this is scheduled for Linux 5.7 (for which the merge window is not yet open). How certain is it that the feature will land in 5.7?

Since Linux 5.7, on MIPS, we use AT_BASE_PLATFORM to pass ISA level. The values may be: mips2, mips3, mips4, mips5, mips32, mips32r2, mips32r6, mips64, mips64r2, mips64r6. This behavior is different with PowerPC. https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/commit/?id=e585b768da111f2c2d413de6214e83bbdfee8f22 Signed-off-by: YunQiang Su <syq@debian.org> ---- v1 -> v2: fix typo --- man3/getauxval.3 | 7 ++++--- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-)
