There is no use for this to be static.

Apart from the concurrency issue mentioned in the comment this is just
very wasteful. Instead you can have a small local buffer, say 128
bytes and pass that to be populated. The sysctl handler than can
populate that and return an error if the size is too small. I don't
know if sysclt api allows it to return the set size as it is. Worst
case you can just retry with a bigger malloced buffer.

Once you get the result you can malloc a buffer and
atomic_cmpset_rel_ptr localbase to point to it. If this fails, another
thread got the result, you free your buffer and return (localbase).

Also the kernel counter part completely unnecessarily comes with a
static 1KB buffer to hold what typically is going to be nothing. This
should also be allocated as needed. Worst case you can add a trivial
lock around it.
