It's true, it looks like the variable nr_swapper_spaces is optimized away.
(gdb) p linux_banner

It's weird, I downloaded the vmlinux from the above link, got the
nr_swapper_spaces:
$ md5sum vmlinux
7d47aa96b3812e6ca607de7e297307a1 vmlinux
$ strings vmlinux |grep nr_swapper_spaces
nr_swapper_spaces
nr_swapper_spaces
nr_swapper_spaces
$ readelf -a vmlinux |grep nr_swapper_spaces
17111: c000000001856810 108 OBJECT LOCAL DEFAULT 47
nr_swapper_spaces
Has the vmlinux been updated again?
Thanks
