Package: valgrind
Version: 1:3.3.1-2
Severity: minor

Cachegrind apparently examines the current CPU to choose default cache
parameters, and gives various related warning messages.  However, it
does this even when the user explicitly specifies other cache parameters
which will override the default values.

E.g.:

   $ valgrind --tool=cachegrind --I1=65536,2,64 --D1=65536,2,64 
--L2=524288,16,64 snogray -b ../envmaps/omdot/pano_hdr.exr -e3 -s20 -Ralgo=pt 
../scenes/zz.lua /tmp/j5.jpg
   ==17073== Cachegrind, a cache and branch-prediction profiler.
   ...
   --17073-- warning: Pentium 4 with 12 KB micro-op instruction trace cache
   --17073--          Simulating a 16 KB I-cache with 32 B lines
   --17073-- warning: Unknown Intel cache config value (0x3b), ignoring
   --17073-- warning: L2 cache not installed, ignore L2 results.

Since I specified --I1, --D1, and --L2 on the command-line, those
warning messages are incorrect, and are confusing -- at first I worried
that it had ignored my command-line specifications, until I used
--verbose and saw a later message indicating that it hadn't.

Thanks,
