  Linux kernel uses AT_HWCAP2 to indicate if FSGSBASE instructions are
enabled.  If the HWCAP2_FSGSBASE bit in AT_HWCAP2 is set, FSGSBASE
instructions can be used in user space.  Define dl_check_hwcap2 to set
the FSGSBASE feature to active on Linux when the HWCAP2_FSGSBASE bit is
set.

Could you add a test against /proc/cpuinfo flags?  It should be a
perfect match on current kernels.

Thanks,
Florian

Will do.

Thanks.
