procfs: speed up /proc/pid/stat, statm
Process accounting applications as top, ps visit some files under /proc/<pid>. With seq_put_decimal_ull(), we can optimize /proc/<pid>/stat and /proc/<pid>/statm files. This patch adds - seq_put_decimal_ll() for signed values. - allow delimiter == 0. - convert seq_printf() to seq_put_decimal_ull/ll in /proc/stat, statm. Test result on a system with 2000+ procs. Before patch: [kamezawa@bluextal test]$ top -b -n 1 | wc -l 2223 [kamezawa@bluextal test]$ time top -b -n 1 > /dev/null real 0m0.675s user 0m0.044s sys 0m0.121s [kamezawa@bluextal test]$ time ps -elf > /dev/null real 0m0.236s user 0m0.056s sys 0m0.176s After patch: kamezawa@bluextal ~]$ time top -b -n 1 > /dev/null real 0m0.657s user 0m0.052s sys 0m0.100s [kamezawa@bluextal ~]$ time ps -elf > /dev/null real 0m0.198s user 0m0.050s sys 0m0.145s Considering top, ps tend to scan /proc periodically, this will reduce cpu consumption by top/ps to some extent.
