gentoo-stats appears to have problems with /proc/cpuinfo on ppc Here comes the culprit: nick $ cat /proc/cpuinfo cpu : 750FX temperature : 39 C (uncalibrated) clock : 700MHz revision : 1.18 (pvr 7000 0112) bogomips : 1389.36 machine : PowerBook4,3 motherboard : PowerBook4,3 MacRISC2 MacRISC Power Macintosh detected as : 257 (iBook 2 with 14" LCD) pmac flags : 00000003 L2 cache : 512K unified memory : 128MB pmac-generation : NewWorld ------- Additional Comment #1 From Nicolas Kaiser 2002-08-02 06:10 ------- I'd like to propose these modifications for PPC.

We'd need to look at the table you have, vs the info I have in the proc table and see if I can get the appropriate info. But the Vendor of the CPU is not PowerBook =) ------- Additional Comment #3 From Maik Schreiber 2002-08-02 07:33 ------- Another config I've been sent by Pieter Van den Abeele: (I'm adding it here so I won't forget) cpu : 7450, altivec supported clock : 550Mhz revisions : 2.1 (pvr 8000 0201) bogomips : 548.86 machine : Powerbook3,3 motherboard : Powerbook3,3 MacRISC2 MacRISC Power Macintosh detected as : 72 (Powerbook Titanium II) pmac flags : 00000003 L2 cache : 256K unified memory : 256MB pmac-generation : NewWorld ------- Additional Comment #4 From Maik Schreiber 2002-08-02 07:38 ------- Another one by Robert Cole: cpu : 7455, altivec supported clock : 667MHz revision : 2.1 (pvr 8001 0201) bogomips : 665.19 machine : PowerBook3,4 motherboard : PowerBook3,4 MacRISC2 MacRISC Power Macintosh detected as : 73 (PowerBook Titanium III) pmac flags : 00000003 L2 cache : 256K unified memory : 1024MB pmac-generation : NewWorld ------- Additional Comment #5 From Rajiv Manglani 2002-08-06 12:38 ------- from my powermac 6400: cpu : 603ev clock : 200MHz revision : 2.1 (pvr 0007 0201) bogomips : 133.12 machine : Power Macintosh motherboard : AAPL,e407 MacRISC detected as : 35 (Alchemy) pmac flags : 00000000 memory : 72MB pmac-generation : OldWorld ------- Additional Comment #6 From Rajiv Manglani 2002-08-14 18:21 ------- until this is fixed, shouldn't gentoo-stats not have 'ppc' in KEYWORDS? ------- Additional Comment #7 From Mark Guertin 2002-08-25 17:35 ------- From a G4 733 Quicksilver cpu : 7450, altivec supported clock : 733MHz revision : 2.1 (pvr 8000 0201) bogomips : 730.72 machine : PowerMac3,5 motherboard : PowerMac3,5 MacRISC2 MacRISC Power Macintosh detected as : 69 (PowerMac G4 Silver) pmac flags : 00000000 L2 cache : 256K unified memory : 512MB pmac-generation : NewWorld from iMac DV 350 cpu : 740/750 temperature : 43-45 C (uncalibrated) clock : 350MHz revision : 2.2 (pvr 0008 0202) bogomips : 697.95 machine : PowerMac2,1 motherboard : PowerMac2,1 MacRISC Power Macintosh detected as : 66 (iMac FireWire) pmac flags : 00000001 L2 cache : 512K unified memory : 256MB pmac-generation : NewWorld ------- Additional Comment #8 From Kevyn Shortell 2002-08-25 17:39 ------- Don't need to keep sending us new versions, the data will stay the same actually, it's just a matter of changing uname and proc cpuinfo, which isn't part of this package. Nor will the vendor str ever say powerbook =) ------- Additional Comment #9 From Mark Guertin 2002-08-25 17:42 ------- I've set this as -ppc temporarily, until this is resolved ------- Additional Comment #10 From Kevyn Shortell 2002-08-27 01:34 ------- Bug is requesting that valid information be pulled from /proc/cpuinfo to match information gathered by x86 info for the result of generating a corect form. Will create new bug for uname.c and proc table modifications.
Will work with pmac kernel devs to evaluate possibility of parity for /proc/cpuinfo so tools such a gentoo stats can get the same data
Any news on this trance? There have been suggestions of using gentoo stats for information gathering and this would be useful
i thought all archs have different info in /proc/cpuinfo. should this really be fixed just to get gentoo-stats working? instead, gentoo-stats should be updated to work with different archs. i think this bug should be closed, marked as wontfix. (see also bug 5822)
ok, ppc support has been added to gentoo-stats, closing this bug
