Dears I'm the maintainer of xosview and I'm debugging rather weird behavior from it in the latest FreeBSD 12 revisions (12.0-CURRENT #0 r320730 AMD64) . The problem is occurring on the lines responsible for collecting statistics about paging. These lines follow: If (pageinfo) { Pageinfo [0] = (uint64_t) vm.v_vnodepgsin + (uint64_t) vm.v_swappgsin; Pageinfo [1] = (uint64_t) vm.v_vnodepgsout + (uint64_t) vm.v_swappgsout; } This code works on FreeBSD 11 and until a short time ago it works at 12. But now it returns extremely large values when interpreted as 64-bit values. A debugging has shown that for this sysctl call the following values are returned in the terminal: sysctl vm.stats.vm.v_vnodepgsin vm.stats.vm.v_swappgsin vm.stats.vm.v_vnodepgsout vm.stats.vm.v_swappgsout Vm.stats.vm.v_vnodepgsin: 47432 Vm.stats.vm.v_swappgsin: 0 Vm.stats.vm.v_vnodepgsout: 19 Vm.stats.vm.v_swappgsout: 0 While the code returns things like: Pageinf [0] = 34359785800; Pageinfo [1] = 140733193388051 Pageinf [0] = 34359785800; Pageinfo [1] = 2678138638516092947 After some tests I found that if I change the code to use a typecast to (uint32_t) then Xosview works correctly.: If (pageinfo) { Pageinfo [0] = (uint32_t) ((uint64_t) vm.v_vnodepgsin + (uint64_t) vm.v_swappgsin); Pageinfo [1] = (uint32_t) ((uint64_t) vm.v_vnodepgsout + (uint64_t) vm.v_swappgsout); } For me, it seems that some code in the kernel is storing values as 32 bits where it should be 64 bits. Is this behavior correct? []'s -OtacílioReceived on Mon Jul 10 2017 - 00:15:25 UTC
