Attempting to profile 1024 or more CPUs with perf causes two errors: perf record -a [ perf record: Woken up X times to write data ] way too many cpu caches.. [ perf record: Captured and wrote X MB perf.data (X samples) ] perf report -C 1024 Error: failed to set cpu bitmap Requested CPU 1024 too large. Consider raising MAX_NR_CPUS Increasing MAX_NR_CPUS from 1024 to 2048 and redefining MAX_CACHES as MAX_NR_CPUS * 4 returns normal functionality to perf: perf record -a [ perf record: Woken up X times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote X MB perf.data (X samples) ] perf report -C 1024 ...

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.
