[PATCH] Add num_to_str() for speedup /proc/stat
From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
Date: Mon Jan 30 2012 - 00:15:12 EST
At reading /proc/stat, most of time is consumed by vsnprintf() at el.
Here is a test script, reading /proc/stat 1000 times..
== stat_check.py
num = 0
with open("/proc/stat") as f:
while num < 1000 :
data = f.read()
f.seek(0, 0)
num = num + 1
==
perf shows
20.39% stat_check.py [kernel.kallsyms] [k] format_decode
13.41% stat_check.py [kernel.kallsyms] [k] number
12.61% stat_check.py [kernel.kallsyms] [k] vsnprintf
10.85% stat_check.py [kernel.kallsyms] [k] memcpy
4.85% stat_check.py [kernel.kallsyms] [k] radix_tree_lookup
4.43% stat_check.py [kernel.kallsyms] [k] seq_printf
This patch removes most of calls to vsnprintf() by adding
num_to_str() and seq_print_decimal_ull(), which prints decimal numbers
without rich functions provided by printf().
On my 8cpu box.
== Before patch ==
[root@bluextal test]# time ./stat_check.py
real 0m0.150s
user 0m0.026s
sys 0m0.121s
== After patch ==
[root@bluextal test]# time ./stat_check.py
real 0m0.055s
user 0m0.022s
sys 0m0.030s
Maybe it's worth to add this simple function.
