CPUFreq and strange /proc/cpuinfo
I've recently upgraded to kernel 2.6.1 (previously 2.6.0) and decided to try using some of the dynamic cpufreq daemons such as cpufreqd and powernowd. Both of these seem to work, but there's a strange anomaly in /proc/cpuinfo. Normally my /proc/cpuinfo had entries like this (only relavent entries):
model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1700MHz
cpu MHz : 1694.984
bogomips : 3358.72
which looks pretty good I guess, however, once you enable either of these two daemons these numbers get all confused, for example, when scaled to full speed I get:
model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1700MHz
cpu MHz : 4802.454
bogomips : 9516.37
and when scaled down to the lowest speed (600Mhz) I get something that looks like this:
model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1700MHz
cpu MHz : 2824.973
bogomips : 5597.86
I'm not sure if this is just a cosmetic blip or not (it does appear to be), but I thought it was odd. Any ideas what could cause this or suggestions how to fix it? Or maybe I should ignore it.
Scaling driver is "centrino".
