--- Begin Message ---Package: msr-tools Version: 1.3-2 Severity: wishlist Tags: upstream Dear Maintainer, I tried to use rdmsr to read a particular MSR using: # rdmsr MSR_K8_TOP_MEM2 Thinking that if it didn't know what MSR_K8_TOP_MEM2 was it would produce an error and I could look up the proper number. Instead it said "0" which was a plausible answer and so I carried on. However it turns out that it actually read whatever MSR strtoul("MSR_K8_TOP_MEM2", NULL, 0) produces, which is unlikely to be the MSR which was wanted. It would be great if there could be some sanity checking of the input and/or the error checks on the strtoul. The strtoul(3) manpage suggests setting errno=0 before calling strtoul and then checking for no-zero errno afterwards, since 0 is a legitimate converstion result. ` Thanks, Ian. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'oldstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386, armhf, armel Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages msr-tools depends on: ii libc6 2.19-18 msr-tools recommends no packages. msr-tools suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
