Subject: [parisc-linux] RfC: hpux-like sysconf variables in glibc, cpu affinity
List-ID: <linux-parisc.vger.kernel.org>

While helping to port the hpux PI performance monitoring stuff to Linux, I
came across several sysconf calls that appear to be supported by hpux
but not under Linux. Would like to get your opinions on how best to
support these:

variable:		sample output
===================================================================
_SC_CPU_VERSION		CPU_PA_RISC2_0
_SC_CPU_CHIP_TYPE	bitfield describing cpu type and rev
_SC_PSET_SUPPORT	1/0, see more below

there's also a call to confstr(_CS_MACHINE_MODEL) which is also not
supported by glibc.
