From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx> As stat() can overflow if a 32 bit user space is running on a 64 bit kernel and the inode is more than 32 bits, compile with _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 that mitigates this problem on 32 bit user space. Do this by running the cross compiler cpp and checking what __LONG_SIZE__ is. If it returns 4, then add the define.
