delta/syslinux.git/com32/include/cpuid.h, branch syslinux-3.53 git.kernel.org: pub/scm/boot/syslinux/syslinux.git Adding a new com32 module to handle cpu information 2006-09-05T20:53:38+00:00 Erwan Velu erwan@seanodes.com 2006-09-04T20:34:55+00:00 1f675cf4298e2cb5dd5bc3be2c3649ac81d4fac6 From : Erwan Velu <erwan.velu@free.fr> This patch a new com32 module to handle cpu information. A new "cpu" structure can be filled by calling "detect_cpu(&cpu)". It provides : - Vendor name as string - Model as string - Vendor as integer - Model as integer - Family as integer - Stepping as Integer - Flags as boolean - SMP as boolean Note that SMP is just a manner to know if the bios annonce an MPTABLE. This code can't detect each processor. I've been adding a demo program called cpuidtest to show how it works. if (cpu.flags.lm == true) printf("This system is x86_64 compatible\n"); This example shows how to test if a system is X86_64 compatible. I hope it's simple enough ;) This code is mainly taken from the Linux Kernel. Greetings for all the guys who wrote it. Testing and feedback are welcome. Signed-off-by:Erwan Velu <erwan.velu@free.fr>

This patch a new com32 module to handle cpu information.
A new "cpu" structure can be filled by calling "detect_cpu(&cpu)".

It provides :
- Vendor name as string
- Model as string
- Vendor as integer
- Model as integer
- Family as integer
- Stepping as Integer
- Flags as boolean
- SMP as boolean

Note that SMP is just a manner to know if the bios annonce an MPTABLE.
This code can't detect each processor.

I've been adding a demo program called cpuidtest to show how it works.

if (cpu.flags.lm == true) printf("This system is x86_64 compatible\n");
This example shows how to test if a system is X86_64 compatible.
I hope it's simple enough ;)
