Package: libc-bin Version: 2.11.2-7 Severity: normal getconf -a have many variables set to 0.
for example LEVEL1_ICACHE_SIZE 0 LEVEL1_ICACHE_ASSOC 0 LEVEL1_ICACHE_LINESIZE 0 LEVEL1_DCACHE_SIZE 0 LEVEL1_DCACHE_ASSOC 0 LEVEL1_DCACHE_LINESIZE 0 LEVEL2_CACHE_SIZE 0 LEVEL2_CACHE_ASSOC 0 LEVEL2_CACHE_LINESIZE 0 they are easly available on most architectures in /proc/cpuinfo There are also few more, but I do not know if they apply to Linux system (most notably some limits are not set, but i do not know if they correctly do not have any limits, or somebody forget to set them somewhere). They can lead to subtel bugs, for example involving buffer overflows.
