Subject[PATCH] kernel/irq/proc: /proc/interrupts irq-off latency reduction
Date
Reading /proc/interrupts shows up as a latency source of several
hundred microseconds on a 2 socket 176 thread system, because it
iterates twice over all CPUs under an irq lock pulling in remote
cachelines, doing lots of seq_printf, etc.

On a 16 socket system with higher latencies to remote cachelines,
latencies around 10ms would be seen here. irqbalanced periodically
reads this file, and the latency spikes are noticed on smaller
systems. Also the file is unprivileged, so it's important to reduce
this latency.

Avoid holding the lock while iterating over CPUs to get their stats.
The desc should be protected with irq_lock_sparse().
