/proc/stat: scalability of irq num per cpu
/proc/stat shows the total number of all interrupts to each cpu. But when the number of IRQs are very large, it take very long time and 'cat /proc/stat' takes more than 10 secs. This is because sum of all irq events are counted when /proc/stat is read. This patch adds "sum of all irq" counter percpu and reduce read costs. The cost of reading /proc/stat is important because it's used by major applications as 'top', 'ps', 'w', etc.... A test on a mechin (4096cpu, 256 nodes, 4592 irqs) shows %time cat /proc/stat > /dev/null Before Patch: 12.627 sec After Patch: 2.459 sec Signed-off-by: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Tested-by: Jack Steiner <steiner@sgi.com> Acked-by: Jack Steiner <steiner@sgi.com> Cc: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
