[patch V4 11/15] genirq: Calculate precision only when required

Thomas Gleixner
2026-03-31T07:26:24Z

Calculating the precision of the interrupt number column on every initial
show_interrupt() invocation is a pointless exercise as the underlying
maximum number of interrupts rarely changes.

Calculate it only when that number is modified and let show_interrupts()
use the cached value.
