But not exactly all and some are used for othe rpurposes. And some of the other values will never exceed 32 bit in 32 bit systems (such as the amount of memory in use by ZFS for various caches) It's still something which warants investigation, but it should be noted that any use of a value which is generally atoamically updated should consider the value just read at most as advisory as there is no guarantee that it is still the same. If you find yurself in need of doing an atomic read there are some questions you should be asking yourself.
