proc: speed up /proc/*/statm

Commit Message

Alexey Dobriyan March 7, 2020, 3:44 p.m. UTC

top(1) reads all /proc/*/statm files but kernel threads will always have
zeros. Print those zeroes directly without going through seq_put_decimal_ull().

Speed up reading /proc/2/statm (which is kthreadd) is like 3%.

My system has more kernel threads than normal processes after booting KDE.
