Revision 59a32e2ce5eb809967cac4e718bc527beca83c59 authored by Eric Dumazet on 23 March 2012, 22:02:53 UTC, committed by Linus Torvalds on 23 March 2012, 23:58:42 UTC 
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.
