Hi,
dmesg indicates my CPU has the Pentium F0 0F bug...
Initializing CPU#0 CPU 0 irqstacks, hard=c041e000 soft=c041f000 PID hash table entries: 1024 (order: 10, 16384 bytes) Detected 232.300 MHz processor.

OK.
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?
Cheers,
Stu.

Please file a bugzilla on this. And mention which kernel version you're running. (Be sure to try the newest too).

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.

For me, both kernel-2.6.17-1.2139_FC5 kernel-2.6.16-1.2122_FC5 expose this problem.

OK, what component do I report the bug against in bugzilla? is it a kernel problem?
Cheers,
Stu.
