When running turbostat, a system with 512 cpus reaches the limit for maximum number of file descriptors that can be opened. To solve this problem, the limit is raised to 2^15, which is a large enough number. Below data is collected from AMD server systems while running turbostat: |-----------+-------------------------------| | # of cpus | # of opened fds for turbostat | |-----------+-------------------------------| | 128 | 260 | |-----------+-------------------------------| | 192 | 388 | |-----------+-------------------------------| | 512 | 1028 | |-----------+-------------------------------| So, the new max limit would be sufficient up to 2^14 cpus (but this also depends on how many counters are enabled).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
