Linux kernel source tree
7bdd1c6c87
cur_cpu_spec->cpu_name is appended to ppc_hw_desc before cur_cpu_spec
has taken on its final value. This is illustrated on pseries by
comparing the CPU name as reported at boot ("POWER8E (raw)") to the
contents of /proc/cpuinfo ("POWER8 (architected)"):
$ dmesg | grep Hardware
Hardware name: IBM,8408-E8E POWER8E (raw) 0x4b0201 0xf000004 \
of:IBM,FW860.50 (SV860_146) hv:phyp pSeries
$ grep -m 1 ^cpu /proc/cpuinfo
cpu : POWER8 (architected), altivec supported
Some 44x models would appear to be affected as well; see
identical_pvr_fixup().
This results in incorrect CPU information in stack dumps --
ppc_hw_desc is an input to dump_stack_set_arch_desc().
Delay gathering the CPU name until after all potential calls to
identify_cpu().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
