Subject: [PATCH 1/2] softirq: fix integer overflow in function show_stat()
From: Zhen Lei <thunder.leizhen@...wei.com>
The statistics function of softirq is supported by commit aa0ce5bbc2db
("softirq: introduce statistics for softirq") in 2009. At that time,
64-bit processors should not have many cores and would not face
significant count overflow problems. Now it's common for a processor to
have hundreds of cores. Assume that there are 100 cores and 10
TIMER_SOFTIRQ are generated per second, then the 32-bit sum will be
overflowed after 50 days.
For example:
seq_put_decimal_ull(p, "softirq ", (unsigned long long)sum_softirq);
for (i = 0; i < NR_SOFTIRQS; i++)
seq_put_decimal_ull(p, " ", per_softirq_sums[i]);
$ cat /proc/stat | tail -n 1
softirq 22929066124 9 2963267579 4128150 2618598635 546358555 0 \
629391610 1326100278 74637 1956244783
Here, the sum of per_softirq_sums[] is 10044164236 and is not equal to
22929066124. Because integers overflowed.
Therefore, change the type of local variable per_softirq_sums[] to u64.
