OK, I'll stop now.

I do have four more Slackboxes (all Intel) I could post if you need/want more.

Since I read that "inxi" is a script, and I saw the filename said "noarch", I guessed it might also run just fine in Slackware 14.2. So, I used installpkg to install inxi, and inxi seems to have run properly. :-)

This laptop was probably made in 2012. Below are two outputs for it.

Code:

According to my understanding, this processor has two cores and each core has two threads. In the output above I see the speeds of the four threads are not all the same. Is it really possible for two threads on a particular core to run at different speeds? I wonder if the script is reading the four speeds as closely together as possible, and storing the results for later use in the inxi script.

According to my understanding, the N2600 is a 64bit processor which can run in 32bit mode --- and for this particular line of laptops ASUS chose to have the processor to run in 32bit mode. :-(

According to something I read somewhere a while back, this processor has (where K = 1024): L1 = two 56 KB; and L2 = two 512 KB.

I tried to run inxi/pinxi in an old Pentium 233

but it seems dmidecode didn't find BIOS information.
It was running a severe crippled Slackware 14.1 install due to the 3GB IDE hard drive.

I'll be back later today, I'll obviously have to get a bit more organized in these checks based on the spectacular results and feedback, but preliminary results show that there may be something unhandled with L1 cache checks, and certain ARM cpu/processor count scenarios, as a base minimum. Also I think the way I handled stepping vs revision for x86 vs ARM/PPC/MIPS may have been a mistake, in addition to the original bugs that stepping had that have been corrected.

I can't thank you all enough, this is far better than I could have hoped for.

h2-1 · 11-28-2021, 02:54 PM

pinxi 3.3.09-11 has fixes for PowerPC showing 'stepping:' instead of 'rev:', and also internally separates stepping values and string revision values. I think this more or less corrects the issues with stepping vs revision and being set to hex without being treated as hex internally.

I'll go through the rest of this stuff in a few hours, thanks again.

mlangdn, missing the pinxi, but that was another good one, the bulldozer id was wrong, it's piledriver, that was a bug in inxi, so good one.

pinxi 3.3.09-13 fixes that false arch for bulldozer/piledriver, but also fixes a host of issues with failing cpu core counts. Also has a big global redo of the risc cpu detections and handlers, all are now merged into one global that is far easier to test than the way I had done it previously, which led to random failures for a given RISC cpu type that was different from a different, say, ARM test, now it's a global test, which should make more stuff 'just work', though that always takes empirical data and testing per processor type since the data is always different. But it should be better, though there may also be some errors you didn't see before, but some values will also be seen that were not seen before.

For the risc-v system now shows:

Code:

    model: N/A
    bits: 64
    type: MCP
    arch: riscv64

  Speed: N/A
    min/max: N/A
    cores: No per core speed data found.
  Features: N/A
  Vulnerabilities: No CPU vulnerability/bugs data available.

This is using fake data injected in, so there may be a few values that are off, but most should be right.

For the PowerPC failures:

Code:

PU:
  Info: 16-Core
    model: N/A
    bits: 64
    type: MCP
    arch: ARMv8

      mitigation: Branch predictor hardening
    Type: srbds
      status: Not affected
    Type: tsx_async_abort
      status: Not affected

Both of these highlighted a series of possible failure cases, so I thought it was worth totally fixing the underlying cause rather than just adding more test types, that may or may not break specific risc type systems, but in general, it should improve the stuff I think, hope anyway.

I'm going to start on all the new samples as well now, but wanted to get these significant failure cases handled before doing anything else.

pinxi 3.3.09-14 gets some more sensors data from the power nv sensors, and enables showing gpu sensor data even if the main sensors detections failed.
