[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#506481: initscripts: Fix to allow falsified cpu information in /proc/cpuinfo

[Mark Hobley]

Package: initscripts
Version: 2.86.ds1-61
Severity: normal
Tags: patch


This fix allows falsified cpu information in /proc/cpuinfo, by creating 
an override file /etc/cpuinfo:

The following changes apply to the /etc/init.d/mountkernfs.sh script:

        #
        # Mount proc filesystem on /proc
        #
        domount proc "" /proc proc -onodev,noexec,nosuid

        #
        # Override /proc/cpuinfo with falsified information, if required
        #
        if [ -e /etc/cpuinfo] ; then
          mount --bind /etc/cpuinfo /proc/cpuinfo
        fi

        #
        # Mount sysfs on /sys
        #
