[gentoo-user] cpuinfo documentation
Does anyone know where I can find an (in)formal description of the components returned by 'cat /proc/cpuinfo' ? Just need a pointer to the FM ;-) Biker -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] cpuinfo documentation
No worries. I didn't have time to go reading that source file yet. (Though someone else may have. ;-) Thanks anyway for your good intention. I've been googling this quite a lot but not found the information I looked for. It's kind'a strange, because someone must have this info somewhere. As side notes, - The 'flags' entity is described at http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=67535 - The cpuinfo is incompletely described at http://search.cpan.org/author/JSTOWE/Linux-Cpuinfo-1.5/Cpuinfo.pm , but even the author of this Perl module admits that he doesn't know anything about 'wp', which is the cpuinfo entity that I'm currently trying to understand.

I did a search in the kernel documentation, and this was the only file that mentions cpuinfo. Unfortunately, it does not describe the contents of the file. Haven't found anything on that yet. - PK -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Following the wp bit through arch/i386/kernel/setup.c, then arch/i386/mm/init.c, then googling, it looks like wp is write protect. Take a look at http://testing.lkml.org/slashdot.php?mid=249185 and you'll probably get the gist of it. Fun research project. HAND. -Heschi -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
