On a 32-bit kernel addresses should be shown with 8 hex digits, e.g.:

But since commmit 0e3dc0191431 ("procfs: add seq_put_hex_ll to speed up
/proc/pid/maps") even on native 32-bit kernels the output looks like this:

root@debian:~# cat /proc/self/maps

This patch brings back the old default 8-hex digit output for
32-bit kernels and compat tasks.

Hi,

I think this is fixing the wrong thing.

seq_put_hex_ll() is a generic routine so the #ifdef/is_compat_task()
doesn't seem to belong there.

Moreover, the kerneldoc comment on this function states:

 * seq_put_hex_ll(m, "", v, 8) is equal to seq_printf(m, "%08llx", v)

The seq_put_hex_ll() call from show_vma_header_prefix() is calling this
with the last argument (minimum padding length) being 8, so why is it
padding to more than that in the first place?

Look at your example:

> root@debian:~# cat /proc/self/maps
> 0000000010000-0000000019000 r-xp 00000000 000000008:000000005 787324 /usr/bin/cat

that's padded to... 13 hex characters? Huh?

Even on my x86_64, short addresses are only padded to 8 bytes, as they
should be in all cases. Could there possibly be a bug in parisc
__builtin_clzll()...?
