`getCpuName()` working properly only on `x86` cpus #2380

While running a CMS wfs on ARM I noticed that the CPU informations are not available

and it's related to how getCpuName() is implemented (for x86 only if I understand well). In general I think it would be nice to have this expanded to other architectures.
