However it is a real problem. Look at output on arm platform at the
bottom of this mail, especially "cpudesc", "total memory" and "cmdline" field.

By further debugging I found that the real problem resides in return value checking
when write header error. Please see my other patches:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/10/15/612
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/10/15/611

I think at least one of them is required.

Thanks.
