For 64bit CONFIG_BASE_SMALL=0 systems PID_MAX_LIMIT is set by default to 4194304. During boot the kernel sets a new value based on number of CPUs but no lower than 32768. It is 1024 per CPU so with 128 CPUs the default becomes 131072 which needs six digits. This value can be increased during run time but must not exceed the initial upper limit. Systemd sometime after v241 sets it to the upper limit during boot. The result is that when the pid exceeds five digits, the trace output is a little hard to read because it is no longer properly padded (same like on big iron with 98+ CPUs). Increase the pid padding to seven digits.

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.
