Note that psrinfo doesn't do anything smart here. It just prints whatever value of the implementation string is provided in cpu_info kstat. The value itself is completely determined by the platform code. > I'd like to change that to add the raw "EAX, page 1" value, since that > value appears in all the errata from Intel and AMD, and is the number that > is the quick, unambiguous, fully-specified way to identify a particular > processor: > > The physical processor has 1 virtual processor (0) > x86 (AuthenticAMD 20F51 family 15 model 37 step 1 clock 2210 MHz) > AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 848 > > (note the 20F51). > > Does anyone think that either 1) this is a bad idea, or 2) that ARC is > interested in this output format change, or 3) that anyone else has an > opinion as to details?

It seems to be a good idea and I don't think that any implementation strings are ARCed. They do not constitute an interface. - Alex Kolbasov _______________________________________________ opensolaris-code mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/opensolaris-code
