Auxiliary Vector

In addition to the types defined in Chapter 3 of the System V Application Binary Interface PowerPC Processor Supplement the following are also supported:

Table 5-1. Extra Auxiliary Types

NameValueComment
AT_NOTELF10Program is not ELF
AT_UID11Real uid
AT_EUID12Effective uid
AT_GID13Real gid
AT_EGID14Effective gid
AT_PLATFORM15String identifying CPU for optimizations
AT_HWCAP16Arch dependent hints at CPU capabilities
AT_CLKTCK17Frequency at which times() increments
AT_DCACHEBSIZE19The a_val member of this entry gives the data cache block size for processors on the system on which this program is running. If the processors have unified caches, AT_DCACHEBSIZE is the same as AT_UCACHEBSIZE
AT_ICACHEBSIZE20The a_val member of this entyr gives the instruction cache block size for processors on the system on which this program is running. If the processors have unified caches, AT_DCACHEBSIZE is the same as AT_UCACHEBSIZE.
AT_UCACHEBSIZE21The a_val member of this entry is zero if the processors on the system on which this program is running do not have a unified instruction and data cache. Otherwise it gives the cache block size.
AT_IGNOREPPC22All entries of this type should be ignored.

The last three entries in the table above override the values specified in System V Application Binary Interface PowerPC Processor Supplement.
