Wasn't that method dismissed as unreliable by Andrei Borzenkov? On 2022-09-06 10:33, Andrei Borzenkov wrote:
As I already explained in this thread on the user list, you cannot reliably detect v3 and above based on information in /proc/cpuinfo. Neither the OSXSAVE flag nor supported XSAVE bits are exposed. Testing for XSAVE is an optimistic approximation where you hope that if XSAVE is supported then everything else will be correctly set up.
libc actually queries processor for current OSXSAVE and supported XSAVE bits. Maybe it is possible to provide standalone binary replicating these tests.
