This seems like a harmless off by one overflow if "i" is the last

Not tested.  I always wonder if it's worth fixing these or if it's worth
reporting them?  Either of those seem like a lot of work for something
harmless.

Could it oops if cpuid_nent is INT_MAX?  If so, it's not entirely harmless.
In this case I'd rather take the occasion to cleanup the code like this
(compile-tested):

What do you think?


Is there any guaranty that this will not loop forever ?

an if (i==j) return 0; would be on the save side. (I guess that
these was the idea behind the for).

Once i==j you'll get ej->function == e->function and exit.
