Hi,
It is a good question.
I checked about i386. __per_cpu_data_end - __per_cpu_start is smaller
than 4K, but PERCPU_SHIFT is 13 (it is common both x86_32 and
x86_64).
Oops.
I will consider more.
Ok, I'll wait for a new patch set.
Another direction that you might consider is to check whether
a new symbol was introduced in the same patch-set that
incremented the PERCPU_SHIFT values?
Or take Keir up on his offer to compile-in an absolute
value that can be accessed like a symbol?
As far as the UPTIME display, it will probably raise
fewer questions in the future if you would just remove
it entirely.
Thanks,
Dave
