Subject: report the per-irq statistics on all arches
From: Ravikiran G Thirumalai <kiran@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Commit 4004c69ad68dd03733179277280ea2946990ba36 avoids too many remote cpu
references while reporting per-irq stats. Since we will not have the same
performance penalty of bringing in remote cpu cachelines while reporting
per-irq stats anymore, we can now afford to be consistent and report this
statistic on all arches, all configs.
akpm: affects ia64, alpha and ppc64, mainly.
Kiran earlier said:
Read to /proc/stat takes:
Plain: 2.622832
With speedup patch: 0.013194
With the per-irq stats commented out: 0.008124
So the performance problems which originally caused those architectures to
disable this statistic should now be fixed up.
