Hi, according to the Intel manual 325462-sdm-vol-1-2abcd-3abcd-4-1.pdf page
409, 17.3.9.1 Instruction Based Considerations CPUID and other instructions
instructions will abort transactional execution on any implementation.
Conclusion,  exesive usage just to linux kernel an cat /proc/cpuinfo can result
data loss?
Just ask.
