Subject[PATCH] 2.0.35: updated Jumbo -4 patch
Date
Hi,

This is the updated version of the Jumbo patch against a clean 2.0.35. What
this patch does:

- It fixes Cyrix 6x86 and 6x86L CPU detection.
- Fixes bogomips calibration. (courtesy Richard Johnson).
- Improves AMD CPU detection.
- Has extended capability flags detection for AMD CPUs, code by Rob Dale
(e.g. reports a new "3dnow" flag).
- Inaugurates Centaur C6 detection.
- Improves time.c code on CPUs with a Time Stamp Counter (fast code should work
with APM now, also doesn't break with Centaur C6 step 0).
- Reports MHz clock rates on CPUs with a TSC in /proc/cpuinfo.
- Calibrates TSC at boot time (drift and jitter free).
- Adds the single-line fix to the vt.c code buglet that affected e.g. minicom
(this fix was posted last week on the list).

I am sorry to be attaching the patch as a MIME base64 attachment, but even my
uuencoded file seemed to have problems last time :-(

Hope this one makes it intact.

Thanks to all the people who tested and reported on the earlier patch revisions
(BTW Rob tested it on an impressive list of CPUs: Intel 486, K6, K6-2, Intel
Celeron; I tested it on Cyrix 6x86L, 6x86MX and MII; needed: C6 and Intel
Pentium testers).

Cheers,
