From bfca3dd3d0680fc2fc7f659a152234afbac26e4d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Petr Vorel Date: Thu, 1 Sep 2022 21:44:03 +0200 Subject: kernel/utsname_sysctl.c: print kernel arch Print the machine hardware name (UTS_MACHINE) in /proc/sys/kernel/arch. This helps people who debug kernel with initramfs with minimal environment (i.e. without coreutils or even busybox) or allow to open sysfs file instead of run 'uname -m' in high level languages.
