softirq: introduce statistics for softirq
Statistics for softirq doesn't exist.
It will be helpful like statistics for interrupts.
This patch introduces counting the number of softirq,
which will be exported in /proc/softirqs.
When softirq handler consumes much CPU time,
/proc/stat is like the following.
$ while :; do cat /proc/stat | head -n1 ; sleep 10 ; done
cpu 88 0 408 739665 583 28 2 0 0
cpu 450 0 1090 740970 594 28 1294 0 0
^^^^
softirq
In such a situation,
/proc/softirqs shows us which softirq handler is invoked.
We can see the increase rate of softirqs.
<before>
$ cat /proc/softirqs
CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 CPU3
HI 0 0 0 0
TIMER 462850 462805 462782 462718
NET_TX 0 0 0 365

<after>
$ cat /proc/softirqs
CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 CPU3
HI 0 0 0 0
TIMER 463361 465077 465056 464991
NET_TX 53 0 1 365
NET_RX 3757 2 2 40
BLOCK 0 0 398 1170
TASKLET 0 0 0 224
SCHED 463074 464318 464612 463330
RCU 3505 2948 3947 3673
When CPU TIME of softirq is high,
the rates of increase is the following.
TIMER : 220/sec : CPU1-3
NET_TX : 5/sec : CPU0
NET_RX : 120/sec : CPU0
SCHED : 40-200/sec : all CPU
RCU : 45-58/sec : all CPU
The rates of increase in an idle mode is the following.
TIMER : 250/sec
SCHED : 250/sec
RCU : 2/sec
It seems many softirqs for receiving packets and rcu are invoked. This
gives us help for checking system.
