proc: speed up /proc/stat handling
On a typical 16 cpus machine, "cat /proc/stat" gives more than 4096 bytes, and is slow : # strace -T -o /tmp/STRACE cat /proc/stat | wc -c 5826 # grep "cpu " /tmp/STRACE read(0, "cpu 1949310 19 2144714 12117253"..., 32768) = 5826 <0.001504> Thats partly because show_stat() must be called twice since initial buffer size is too small (4096 bytes for less than 32 possible cpus) Fix this by : 1) Taking into account nr_irqs in the initial buffer sizing. 2) Using ksize() to allow better filling of initial buffer.
