Subject: [patch 03/14] genirq/proc: Utilize irq_desc::tot_count to avoid evaluation
Date: Wed, 04 Mar 2026 19:55:40 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260303154548.149638880@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20260303150539.513068586@kernel.org
Interrupts which are not marked per CPU increment not only the per CPU
statistics, but also the accumulation counter irq_desc::tot_count.
Change the counter to type unsigned long so it does not produce sporadic
zeros due to wrap arounds on 64-bit machines and do a quick check for non
per CPU interrupts. If the counter is zero, then simply emit a full set of
zero strings. That spares the evaluation of the per CPU counters completely
for interrupts with zero events.
