Hi Dave,
 In reading your reply arroud per_cpu__xxxxx, i have understood my mistake.
 For a new bee ... i think we could add someting like this in your help.
 ===================================================== 
Yep -- I've thought of adding a "per_cpu" command to be able to display
any per_cpu variable, but have never had the time to implement it.
But your tutorial below explains how it would have to be done.
Thanks,
  Dave
 Spetial mention arround per_cpu__xxxx (with Intel only ?) in SMP context.
 First step : you have to find __per_cpu_offset
 crash> __per_cpu_offset
 __per_cpu_offset = $1 =
 {25182048, 25214816, 25247584, 25280352, 25313120, 25345888, 25378656,
   25411424, 25444192, 25476960, 25509728, 25542496, 25575264, 25608032,
   25640800, 25673568, 25706336, 25739104, 25771872, 25804640, 25837408,
   25870176, 25902944, 25935712, 25968480, 26001248, 26034016, 26066784,
   26099552, 26132320, 26165088, 26197856}
 Second setp : use whatis, struct and sym with your per_cpu__xxxxx
 crash> whatis per_cpu__irq_stat
 irq_cpustat_t per_cpu__irq_stat;
 crash> irq_cpustat_t -o
 No struct type named irq_cpustat_t.
 struct {
     [0] unsigned int __softirq_pending;
     [4] long unsigned int idle_timestamp;
     [8] unsigned int __nmi_count;
    [12] unsigned int apic_timer_irqs;
 }
 SIZE: 128
 crash> sym per_cpu__irq_stat
 c0407380 (D) per_cpu__irq_stat
 Third step : use eval to determine the correct address
 crash> eval c0407380 + 25214816
 hexadecimal: c1c132e0
 [...]
 (one day, i shall try to do a small patch with options -h, -d, -o and
 -2 (-b better, but already used) to select the proper choice when we
 want to !!!)
 Last step : you may now access to the per_cpu__xxxxx of second CPU
 crash> rd -d c1c132e0 4
 c1c132e0:             0     16918620            0     17218691
 A nicer example, with a well defined structure :
 crash> sym per_cpu__kstat
 c0408be0 (D) per_cpu__kstat
 crash> whatis per_cpu__kstat
 struct kernel_stat per_cpu__kstat;
 crash> eval c0408be0 + 25214816
 hexadecimal: c1c14b40
 [...]
 crash> kernel_stat c1c14b40
