[Qemu-devel] What cpu frequency?

[giovanni bracco]

I run several istances of qemu at the same time to experiment with network 
software.

I have observed that the information 
cpu MHz
in /proc/cpuinfo  
seems to have randomly choosen values for each qemu instance, even if the host 
system remains the same without any change to its configuration.

So my question is:
what is the source of the information about cpu clock frequency for the system 
hosted inside qemu?

I run qemu 0.7.1 in a SUSE 9.2 laptop, kernel 2.6.xx (host frequency seems to 
be the upper limit of the value - 1600 MHz in my case; speed step on/off does 
not change the behaviour)
The emulated system is Scientific Linux 3.0.4 which is a clone of RHEL 3, 
kernel 2.4.xxx
