Let's say that on x86_64 /proc/cpuinfo contains: cpu MHz new : 1000.000 cpu MHz : 2000.000 since "cpu MHz" is the prefix on x86, then the "cpu MHz new" line matches it so virHostCPUParseFrequencyString will be called, but then virHostCPUParseFrequencyString will error out because (after skipping spaces) it will find 'n'. A failure in virHostCPUParseFrequencyString is propagated directly by virHostCPUParseFrequency, so the real key in cpuinfo will not be read. -- Pino Toscano
