Before this patch, perf expected that there might be NPROC*4 unique cache entries at max, however, it also expected that some of them would be shared and/or of the same size, thus the final number of entries would be reduced to be lower than NPROC*4. In case the number of entries hadn't been reduced (was NPROC*4), the warning was printed. However, some systems might have unusual cache topology, such as the following two-processor KVM guest: cpu level shared_cpu_list size 0 1 0 32K 0 1 0 64K 0 2 0 512K 0 3 0 8192K 1 1 1 32K 1 1 1 64K 1 2 1 512K 1 3 1 8192K This KVM guest has 8 (NPROC*4) unique cache entries, which used to make perf printing the message, although there actually aren't "way too many cpu caches". v2: Removing unused argument. v3: Unifying the way we obtain number of cpus. v4: Removed '& UINT_MAX' construct which is redundant.
