BTW, since you are making stat2 compatible with stat, will that be easier from the user API perspective if we use a sysctl parameter to turn on and off IRQs reporting for /proc/stat, for example?
For one /proc/stat is also common for debugging envs (ie: performance) and I fear that if a tunnable modifies the behavior of the output, we it might never be usable again (at least not without having users also now consider the systctl parameter). Making it dynamic I think is not worth it. Thanks, Davidlohr
