I'm looking for a linux tool similar to a cpuid dumper but with a capability to read all of a processor's possible model-specific registers's and outputting them. Does such a tool exist? I'm hoping to get the dump so I can parse the dump to look for whatever CPU features I'd be interested in. Please let me know if I'm asking in the wrong forum.

  • What's MSR in this context? – Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' Oct 24 '16 at 23:31
  • Model specific register: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model-specific_register . Hope this is what you mean. – Cosi Oct 24 '16 at 23:36

    Do you want to dump all the MSR contents or to list CPU features? Those are different questions. You can find a [list of CPU features in `/proc/cpuinfo`](http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/43539/what-do-the-flags-in-proc-cpuinfo-mean?s=14|0.7258), but I don't know how much that tells you about MSR contents (it should at least tell you which MSR are available). – Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' Oct 25 '16 at 12:17
  • I want to dump all MSR contents. Something similar to dumping cpuid. ie: – Cosi Oct 25 '16 at 16:08
