Partially revert commitd6cb38e108("tracing: Use div64_u64() instead of do_div()") and use do_div() again to utilize its faster 64-by-32 division compared to the 64-by-64 division done by div64_u64(). Explicitly cast the divisor bm_cnt to u32 to prevent a Coccinelle warning reported by do_div.cocci. The warning was removed with commitd6cb38e108("tracing: Use div64_u64() instead of do_div()"). Using the faster 64-by-32 division and casting bm_cnt to u32 is safe because we return early from trace_do_benchmark() if bm_cnt > UINT_MAX. This approach is already used twice in trace_do_benchmark() when calculating the standard deviation: do_div(stddev, (u32)bm_cnt); do_div(stddev, (u32)bm_cnt - 1); Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-kernel/20240329160229.4874-2-thorsten.blum@toblux.com Signed-off-by: Thorsten Blum <thorsten.blum@toblux.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (Google) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
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 reStructuredText 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.
