Subject: Re: [patch 1/2] genirq: Run irq handlers with interrupts disabled
Date: Tue, 25 May 2010 13:32:53 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1274819573-18977-1-git-send-email-venki@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20100326000405.758579387@linutronix.de>

Just noticed a minor side effect of this patch on /proc/stat.

As int handlers run with ints disabled, timer interrupt based
samples will no longer account for any irq time. As a result, irq
time in /proc/stat, top, etc will be mostly zero (unless some handler
is enabling ints).

This is not a problem on s390, powerpc, ia64 when VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING is
enabled.

May be we should gracefully call it out as zero, with patch like below?
