Subject: [patch 02/14] genirq/proc: Avoid formatting zero counts in /proc/interrupts
Date: Wed, 04 Mar 2026 19:55:36 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260303154548.082654896@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20260303150539.513068586@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.
