>Description:
At boot time, I've the following display :
CPU: \^E (400.91-MHz 586-class CPU)
Origin = "AuthenticAMD" Id = 0x58c Stepping=12
Features=0x8021bf<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,MCE,CX8,PGE,MMX>
instead of :
CPU: AMD K6-2 (400.91-MHz 586-class CPU)
Origin = "AuthenticAMD" Id = 0x58c Stepping=12
Features=0x8021bf<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,MCE,CX8,PGE,MMX>
>How-To-Repeat:
Reboot. It's systematic.
>Fix:
In "/sys/i386/i386/identcpu.c", near line 313, the "cpu_model" variable
is
overwritten with the memcpy functions.
[...]
printcpuinfo(void)
{
[...]
do_cpuid(0x80000000, regs);
nreg = regs[0];
if (nreg >= 0x80000004) {
do_cpuid(0x80000002, regs);
memcpy(cpu_model, regs, sizeof regs);
do_cpuid(0x80000003, regs);
memcpy(cpu_model+16, regs, sizeof regs);
do_cpuid(0x80000004, regs);
memcpy(cpu_model+32, regs, sizeof regs);
}
[...]
}
[...]
Obviously, the cpu_model variable, a string, was not meant to receive
integer values.
As I don't understand the purpose of the do_cpuid function, I just wrap
this
part of the code with the following lines :
{
char cpu_model_backup[128];
[...]
strcpy(cpu_model_backup, cpu_model);
[block]
strcpy(cpu_model, cpu_model_backup);
[...]
It's a kludge but it fixes the problem ;-)
