Issue #2363 has been updated by Venkatesh Srinivas.


Commit 087717516887f81d5df331b8118745d0abd26161 should provide CLFLUSH and VM \
detection. David, good for you DRM purposes?

----------------------------------------
Submit #2363: Port of FreeBSD clflush and smbios.c
http://bugs.dragonflybsd.org/issues/2363

Author: David Shao


Category: 

Port from FreeBSD of function wrapping asm for clflush, required for latest DRM \
kernel graphics drivers. (Reference: http://people.freebsd.org/~kib/drm/)

In addition smbios.c has been ported because FreeBSD uses resulting values to decide \
whether CLFLUSH can be enabled on virtual machines.

Users can now report (notoriously unreliable) smbios values from kenv.

Ported ability to disable CLFLUSH using set hw.clflush_disable=1.

The function for clflush has not been tested yet.

There may be some concern that adding smbios.c to loader code may lead to unbootable \
systems for code that is nonessential; however, the code has not led to unbootable \
systems on an Asus P4B266 Pentium 4, a Lenovo S10 netbook, an Asus M5A87 amd64, an \
Asus ULFT20, and Vmware Fusion 3.1.4.

The current port of accompanying vm detection code for clflush is obviously of
cargo-cult quality because some applies to xen and not to vkernels.
