[Bug translator/10690] need way to produce bigger procfs output

[dsmith at redhat dot com]

------- Additional Comments From dsmith at redhat dot com  2010-01-19 22:31 -------
Some additional info:

One complication in producing bigger procfs input/output is that the maximum
buffer size the kernel will input/output in one call to the procfs
read_proc()/write_proc() is PAGE_SIZE bytes long.  (This is why read_proc() gets
an 'offset' parameter.)

Some kernel procfs file handling code now uses the 'seq' file interface to help
simplify large procfs file handling.  Systemtap may need to consider this.
