Hello All, We build a DPDK 21.05 app on Intel x86 machines with RDSEED in cpuflags, and may run it on machines *without* RDSEED. This results in a fatal error ... ERROR: This system does not support "RDSEED". Please check that RTE_MACHINE is set correctly. EAL: FATAL: unsupported cpu type.
I try adding -Dplatform=haswell when running meson, (because gcc man page indicates that haswell is last arch w/o RDSEED) but get the same result. Until we resolve it, our workaround is changing the error-out in rte_cpu_is_supported() to just print a warning and continue. We don't have direct access to automated build machines, we go through change request processes, and so we can't rapidly try too many things. Is there a better meson option, such as machine=haswell, or something else that will work? Thanks in advance, Robert Sanford
