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,
