Subject: [PATCH 0/3] Entend cpuinfo
Date: Fri, 25 Mar 2016 17:30:06 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1458898209-7486-1-git-send-email-wangkefeng.wang@huawei.com> (raw)
The patches aimed at enhencing cpuinfo.
* ARMv8 supports several different types of physical/virtual address bits,
up to 52bit in ARMv8.2 especially, it's better to expose it.
* Show the name of chip vendor and CPU model to customers, identify them
by CPU implementer and part is not intuitive(compared with x86).
Ideally, add new line to cpuinfo won't break userspace, I hope so, the cpuinfo
shown in qemu with patches,
root at linux$ cat /proc/cpuinfo

arm64: Append more field of id_aa64mmfr2 for cpufeature
arm64: Expose physical/virtual address bits through cpuinfo
arm64: Expose cpu vender id and model name through cpuinfo
