Konstantin Khlebnikov ea18e0f0a6 block/diskstats: accumulate all per-cpu counters in one pass
Reading /proc/diskstats iterates over all cpus for summing each field.
It's faster to sum all fields in one pass.

Hammering /proc/diskstats with fio shows 2x performance improvement:

fio --name=test --numjobs=$JOBS --filename=/proc/diskstats \
    --size=1k --bs=1k --fallocate=none --create_on_open=1 \
    --time_based=1 --runtime=10 --invalidate=0 --group_report

	  JOBS=1	JOBS=10
Before:	  7k iops	64k iops
After:	 18k iops      120k iops

Also this way code is more compact:

add/remove: 1/0 grow/shrink: 0/2 up/down: 194/-1540 (-1346)
Function                                     old     new   delta
part_stat_read_all                             -     194    +194
diskstats_show                              1344     631    -713
part_stat_show                              1219     392    -827
Total: Before=14966947, After=14965601, chg -0.01%

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
