For example, the file /proc/cpuinfo for 24 cores PowerPC platform is larger than the previous maximum size 2KB. It will fail to start libvirtd with the error message as below: virFileReadAll: Failed to read file '/proc/cpuinfo': Value too large for defined data type virSysinfoRead: internal error Failed to open /proc/cpuinfo This patch defines CPUINFO_FILE_LEN as 10KB which is enough for most architectures.
