fs/proc/array.c: slightly improve render_sigset_t
format_decode and vsnprintf occasionally show up in perf top, so I went looking for places that might not need the full printf power. With the help of kprobes, I gathered some statistics on which format strings we mostly pass to vsnprintf. On a trivial desktop workload, I hit "%x" 25% of the time, so something apparently reads /proc/pid/status (which does 5*16 printf("%x") calls) a lot. With this patch, reading /proc/pid/status is 30% faster according to this microbenchmark: char buf[4096]; int i, fd; for (i = 0; i < 10000; ++i) { fd = open("/proc/self/status", O_RDONLY); read(fd, buf, sizeof(buf)); close(fd); } Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1474410485-1305-1-git-send-email-linux@rasmusvillemoes.dk Signed-off-by: Rasmus Villemoes <linux@rasmusvillemoes.dk> Acked-by: Andrei Vagin <avagin@openvz.org> Acked-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Cc: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
