Subject: Re: Why do we still have 32 bit counters? Interrupt counters overflow
within 50 days
Subject: Increase irq counters to 64 bit V3
V2->V3
- Remove useless counter changes
- Track use cases for kstat_irq_cpu
- Verify it works on 32 bit.
V1->V2
- Wrong size at percpu alloc.
- Use u64 so that this will also work on 32 bit machines
Irq counters can overflow easily if they are just 32 bit.
For example the timer interrupt occurs 1000 times per second, so
it is predictable that the timer interrupt will overflow in
2^ 32 / 1000 [interrupts per second] / 86400 [seconds in a day]
which results in approximately 50 days.
Other irq counters for devices may wrap even faster for example
those for high speed networking devices.
This patch is needed to avoid the counter overflow by increasing
the counters to 64 bit.
