I see that this could be useful for certain debugging/hacking activities, but I don't think it's generally useful enough to warrant more kernel bloat. I'd rather keep this patch separate from the official tree. On a side note, it seems to there are some race conditions in incrementing the counters. We could include more info in /proc/cpuinfo. E.g., we could include a count of the total number of fpswa and unaligned faults (on a per CPU basis). (Alpha Linux does this, if you want to look for an example). If someone sent me a patch to do that, I'd be much more inclined to apply it. --david
