The division is a slow operation. If the divisor is a power of 2, use a
shift instead.
Results were obtained using Android's version of perf (simpleperf[1]) as
described below:
1. hist_field_div() is modified to call 2 test functions:
test_hist_field_div_[not]_optimized(); passing them the
same args. Use noinline and volatile to ensure these are
not optimized out by the compiler.
2. Create a hist event trigger that uses division:
events/kmem/rss_stat$ echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:x=size/<divisor>'
>> trigger
events/kmem/rss_stat$ echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:vals=$x'
>> trigger
3. Run Android's lmkd_test[2] to generate rss_stat events, and
record CPU samples with Android's simpleperf:
simpleperf record -a --exclude-perf --post-unwind=yes -m 16384 -g
-f 2000 -o perf.data
== Results ==
Divisor is a power of 2 (divisor == 32):
test_hist_field_div_not_optimized | 8,717,091 cpu-cycles
test_hist_field_div_optimized | 1,643,137 cpu-cycles
If the divisor is a power of 2, the optimized version is ~5.3x faster.
Divisor is not a power of 2 (divisor == 33):
test_hist_field_div_not_optimized | 4,444,324 cpu-cycles
test_hist_field_div_optimized | 5,497,958 cpu-cycles
If the divisor is not a power of 2, as expected, the optimized version is
slightly slower (~24% slower).

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.
