[PATCH] x86: Report Intel platform_id in /proc/cpuinfo
From: Andi Kleen
Date: Thu Jun 02 2016 - 19:06:23 EST
From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
We have a need to distinguish systems based on their platform ID.
For example this is useful to distinguish systems with L4 cache
versus ones without.
There is a 3 bit identifier (also called processor flags) in
the IA32_PLATFORM_ID MSR that can give a more fine grained
identification of the CPU than just the model number/stepping.
IA32_PLATFORM_ID is architectural.
The processor flags are already used in the microcode driver.
The MSR can be also accessed through /dev/cpu/*/msr, but that
requires root and is awkward.
This patch just exports the value retrieved by the microcode
driver in /proc/cpuinfo. If the microcode driver is disabled
it won't be shown, but that seems reasonable.
v2: Handle 0 platform_id. Fix commit message.
