Subject: [patch V3 02/14] genirq/proc: Avoid formatting zero counts in /proc/interrupts
Date: Thu, 26 Mar 2026 22:56:34 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260326215036.375563971@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20260326214345.019130211@kernel.org
A large portion of interrupt count entries are zero. There is no point in
formatting the zero value as it is way cheeper to just emit a constant
string.
Collect the number of consecutive zero counts and emit them in one go
before a non-zero count and at the end of the line.
