[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH v2] avutil: use getauxval for CPU capabilities on linux/android ARM

[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH v2] avutil: use getauxval for CPU capabilities on linux/android ARM

[Aman Karmani]

From: Aman Karmani <aman@tmm1.net>

getauxval is faster, and works when procfs is not mounted

note that support on Android was added in 4.4 (API 20)

fixes #6578
