hwinfo
is parsing /proc/cpuinfo
already, but there are a few 'newer' fields which should be added, such as:
bugs
TLB size
clflush size
cache_alignment
address sizes
power management
microcode
cpu cores
core id
apicid
initial apicid
fpu
fpu_exception
cpuid level
I think, for the time being, we are capturing the most important and relevant attributes across architectures. If we hit a point writing NixOS modules and find ourselves needing one of the above, we could address the differences then.
Thoughts @zimbatm @Mic92 ?
I think core id / cpu cores is the most important one, I would start with these if you attempt to make a pull request and add the other ones later.
Ensure we are capturing comparable information in our report.
