These counters are defined as KSTAT_DATA_ULONG, which means that they're only 32-bits on a 32-bit kernel or when accessed from a 32-bit application on a 64-bit kernel. A good way to test this hypothesis would be to build a small 64-bit program that accesses these values through libkstat, instead of the kstat command. Kstat is a perl wrapper, and we only seem to have a 32-bit perl by default. -j _______________________________________________ perf-discuss mailing list perf-discuss@opensolaris.org
