If it's just accuracy of the read, why would we care about some inaccuracies in counters that can change before you even get the results to userspace? And care to the point where we hold up CPU hotplugging for this? Also, the fact that you directly sent this to Linus suggests there is some urgency for this fix. What's going on?
