| |
When you have a chance to work with non-intel platforms on the /proc/cpuinfo stuff, try and add/modify the new cpu MHz field too.
Right now, I have checked the sources and it seems only the Intel code does the MHz stuff :/ (Apart from m68k which has the 'Clocking' field, and PPC with 'clock')
I've bugged people in the past about it, we really really really do need to standardise /proc/cpuinfo for all architectures. Right now it's a hotchpotch of different terms. What a mess.
Maybe for 2.3.x we can put this right.
