uml: improve detection of host cmov
This patch introduces a new way of checking for the cmov instruction. I use signal handling instead of reading /proc/cpuinfo. [ jdike - Fiddled the asm to make it obvious that it didn't mess with any in-use registers and made test_for_host_cmov void ] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] Signed-off-by: Karol Swietlicki <magotari@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Dike <jdike@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
