On platforms with large number of Pstates, the transition table, which is a NxN matrix, can overflow beyond the PAGE_SIZE boundary. This can be seen on POWER9 which has 100+ Pstates. As a result, each time the trans_table is read for any of the CPUs, we will get the following error. --------------------------------------------------- fill_read_buffer: show+0x0/0xa0 returned bad count --------------------------------------------------- This patch ensures that in case of an overflow, we print a warning once in the dmesg and return FILE TOO LARGE error for this and all subsequent accesses of trans_table.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
