How about the patch below then?

Subject: [PATCH] fs: proc/stat: use seq_file iterator interface

This is the forward port of a patch from KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki with a couple
of additional small changess.
The original patch was posted here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/23/41.

/proc/stat uses single_open() for showing information. This means all data
will be gathered and buffered once into a big buffer.

The size of the buffer depends on the nubmer of possible cpus and therefore
may get very large. This may lead to large memory allocations, which can
fail if memory is fragmented (e.g. for num_possible_cpus() == 256):

sadc: page allocation failure: order:4, mode:0x1040d0
CPU: 1 PID: 192063 Comm: sadc Not tainted 3.10.0-123.el7.s390x #1

[<00000000005b1c1c>] sysc_tracego+0x14/0x1a

This in turn means that reading /proc/stat doesn't work at all in such
situations.

To address this issue convert /proc/stat to use the seq_file iterator
interface. The existing output is split into several pieces so that each
piece fits into a single page before it is copied to user space.  That way
the higher order allocation goes away.

Unfortunately this has user space visible side effects. Unlike before,
reading /proc/stat may now require several read system calls, even if the
buffer provided by user space would be large enough to hold the entire
data.  Howewer it seems to be unlikely that such user space programs exist,
since the content of /proc/stat varies all the time anyway.

Furthermore the code that generated the output gathered per cpu statistics
without any locking. So while a process read /proc/stat the data is
changed concurrently leading potentially to inconsistent data. This is
still the case after the change, however because of the iterator interface,
and the additional latencies we get with that, the per cpu statistics may
get more inconsistent than before.
If this is really an issue remains to be seen.
