Subject: [patch 10/14] genirq/proc: Speed up /proc/interrupts iteration
Date: Wed, 04 Mar 2026 19:56:11 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260303154548.638088280@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20260303150539.513068586@kernel.org

Reading /proc/interrupts iterates over the interrupt number space one by
one and looks up the descriptors one by one. That's just a waste of time.

When CONFIG_GENERIC_IRQ_SHOW is enabled this can utilize the maple tree and
cache the descriptor pointer efficiently for the sequence file operations.

Implement a CONFIG_GENERIC_IRQ_SHOW specific version in the core code and
leave the fs/proc/ variant for the legacy architectures which ignore generic
code.

This reduces the time wasted for looking up the next record significantly.
