>Description:
Due to conditional compilation of the struct cpu_info structure, some fields
can be misaligned between kernel and module, resulting in wrong data being
referenced. For example, on x86, the XEN and SVS kernel options control the
inclusion of certain fields, and a modular cpuinfo reports various incorrect
values:
processor : 15
vendor_id : ÿÿÿÿ
cpu family : 2
model : 15
model name : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6900K CPU @ 3.20GHz
stepping : 0
cpu MHz : 3483.18

clflush size : 524288
Compare the vendor_id, family, model, stepping, and cache-line size to the

(Note also that the text version of the processor name has the correct
CPU speed - 3.20GHz, yet the numeric version reports 3843.18MHz
A built-in version of the same module reports correct values, since the
kernel and module code are built with the same options, resulting in no
mis-alignment.
>How-To-Repeat:
(For example) build a x86 kernel with SVS, DIAGNOSTIC, and LOCKDEBUG, but
without a built-in procfs. Boot the kernel, mount /proc (ie, autoload the
procfs module), and `cat /proc/cpuinfo`
Please note that I have not exhaustively investigated other processor
architectures to determine what, if any, alignment issue might exist.
>Fix:
1. Update the structure definition to be insensitive to kernel options,
(ie, include all fields, whether or not they're used), or
2. Include (a copy of) the MD routines for loading the cpuinfo structure
within the module itself, or
3. Other alternatives?
