Subject: 2.2.18pre Pentium IV bug fix
Date: Sat, 11 Nov 2000 17:50:01 +0100 (MET) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200011111650.RAA27725@harpo.it.uu.se> (raw)
Alan,
2.2.18pre's include/asm-i386/elf.h is currently broken for the
Pentium IV (out of bounds array indexing error).
Since ELF_PLATFORM is identical to system_utsname.machine, the
patch below simply tosses ELF_PLATFORM's broken name generation
code and uses system_utsname.machine instead.
There is no behavioural change for P6 and lesser CPUs.
