[LUG] Size of /proc/kcore

 

This is universally the size of memory, being as it is a mapping of memory except.....

64bit AMD machines (virtual) have 128TB for /proc/kcore

This seems wrong, and the nice folk in the LKML were discussing a similar issue in June 2009.

Anyone know if this is simply a kernel bug or did someone deliberately decide to make it a stupid size? Anyone have a 64bit system, especially AMD, where the size of /proc/kcore is the size of RAM, and if so which kernel are you running please? All the reports seem to be AMD64 circa 2.6.32
