Marco, please see below in terms of L3 cache info.  Thanks,

Cool, thanks for your quick feedback.

We should just be aware that this is ultimately a kludge.  I think I now
finally understand what would have to be done to get a generic solution
which results in correct POSIX permission evaluation for any current
user and any file ACL.  However, from some preliminary testing it seems
the generic solution has at least two downsides:

- It's slow (AuthZ code, setting up and breaking down user/group contexts
  for each checked file...)

- It would always contact the AD when trying to fetch info for AD users,
  which is bad for remote machines not or slowly connected to the AD server.

Anyway, this isn't pressing so it would be nice if you keep on testing.
I'm planning to update to 2.2.1 only after a certain pipe problem just
discussed on the #cygwin IRC channel is either fixed or settled any
other way, 

Btw., can you please also check /proc/cpuinfo?

As discussed, Cygwin's emulation fell short on L3 cache info.  I now
added code to fetch L3 cache info as well as correct processor topology
information on Intel CPUs.  For AMD CPUs the topology and cache
info was already fine.  Linux does not show L3 cache info for AMD CPUs
afaics, so I also didn't add that to Cygwin.


Thanks,
Corinna
