Hi,
dmesg indicates my CPU has the Pentium F0 0F bug...
But looking at /proc/cpuinfo indicates the opposite:
processor : 0
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
cpu family : 5
model : 4
model name : Pentium MMX
stepping : 3
cpu MHz : 232.300
fdiv_bug : no
hlt_bug : no
*f00f_bug : no*
coma_bug : no
fpu : yes
fpu_exception : yes
cpuid level : 1
wp : yes
flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr mce cx8 mmx
bogomips : 465.42
Think there may be a bug in cpuinfo, because I'm sure I remember it used
to say yes for the f00f_bug.
Any thoughts?
Interesting - Your remark caused me to check my ca. 10 years old
i586,
who had been reported to suffer from the f00f bug since it exists,
and ... I am observing the same.
I'd say file a bug into bugzilla.
