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.
