Should I Believe /proc/cpuinfo ?

i got a board build around samsung's S3C2410 ( might be 2410a, i am not pretty sure ) which in turn build on ARM920T core.

Both in ARM920T's specification and S3C210's specification, i get know the processor core has seperated 16k 64-way set-association data cache and instruction cache. but, in the /proc/cpuinfo, i see,

Processor : ARM/CIRRUS Arm920Tsid(wb) rev 0 (v4l) BogoMIPS : 99.94 Features : swp half thumb CPU implementor : 0x41 CPU architecture: 4T CPU variant : 0x1 CPU part : 0x920 CPU revision : 0 Cache type : write-back Cache clean : cp15 c7 ops Cache lockdown : format A Cache unified : harvard I size : 8192 I assoc : 32 I line length : 32 I sets : 8 D size : 8192 D assoc : 32 D line length : 32 D sets : 8

the info above indicates that the instruction cache and data cache is

8k 32-way set-association. i am wondering which information is right? and, how the linux generated the cpuinfo file?

thanks.

Use the source, Luke. Nobody here knows what kernel you're running or what modifications have been made to the source, except you.
