Subject: sched: /proc/sched_stat fails on very very large machines
On systems with 4096 cores doing a cat /proc/sched_stat fails. We are
trying to push all the data into a single kmalloc buffer. The issue is on
these very large machines all the data will not fit in 4mb.
A better solution is to not use the single_open() mechanism but to provide
our own seq_operations.
The output should be identical to previous version and thus not need the
version number.
