When comparing 'model name' fields in /proc/cpuinfo it was noticed that a simple test comparing the model name fields was failing. After some quick investigation it was noticed that the model name fields were actually different -- processor 0's model name field had trailing white space removed, while the other processors did not.
Another way of seeing this behaviour is to convert spaces into underscores in the output of /proc/cpuinfo, [thetango@prarit ~]# grep "^model name" /proc/cpuinfo | uniq -c | sed 's/\ /_/g' ______1_model_name :_AMD_Opteron(TM)_Processor_6272 _____63_model_name :_AMD_Opteron(TM)_Processor_6272_________________ which shows two different model name fields even though they should be the same. This occurs because the kernel calls strim() on cpu 0's x86_model_id field to output a pretty message to the console in print_cpu_info(), and as a result truncates the whitespace at the end of the x86_model_id field. The x86_model_id field should be the same for the same processors. This patch uses string functions to remove both leading and trailing whitespace in the x86_model_id field. As a result the print_cpu_info() output looks like smpboot: CPU0: AMD Opteron(TM) Processor 6272 (fam: 15, model: 01, stepping: 02) and the x86_model_id field is correct on all processors on AMD platforms [thetango@prarit ~]# grep "^model name" /proc/cpuinfo | uniq -c | sed 's/\ /_/g' _____64_model_name :_AMD_Opteron(TM)_Processor_6272 and the functionality is correct on an Intel box: [thetango@prarit2]# grep "^model name" /proc/cpuinfo | uniq -c | sed 's/\ /_/g' ____144_model_name :_Intel(R)_Xeon(R)_CPU_E7-8890_v3_@_2.50GHz [v2]: use memmove and update patch subject Signed-off-by: Prarit Bhargava <[email protected]> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <[email protected]> Cc: Ingo Molnar <[email protected]> Cc: "H.
