The patch titled Subject: proc: speed up /proc/*/statm has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was proc-speed-up-proc-statm.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: proc: speed up /proc/*/statm top(1) reads all /proc/*/statm files but kernel threads will always have zeros. Print those zeroes directly without going through seq_put_decimal_ull(). Speed up reading /proc/2/statm (which is kthreadd) is like 3%. My system has more kernel threads than normal processes after booting KDE.
