Fix segfault on arm machines #7

Closed ncopa closed 5 years ago

ncopa commented 6 years ago

Some ARM cpus does not report the cache size or say it is -1 in sysfs. It has been observed on xgene and thunderx machines.

Fall back to the generic cache size when that happens so we don't segfault.

Should fix https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=866306

It didn't resolve the issue for me reported in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=866306

Which cache size sysfs interface was this referring to?

I'm testing on an Odroid-C2, which uses an amlogic cortex-a53 cpu.
