It is the percpu sum that matters, not specifically + * how many of them happens in each cpu. + * + * It is possible that the same percpu counter may be modified in both + * the process and interrupt contexts. For architectures that perform + * percpu operation with multiple instructions, it is possible to lose + * count if a process context percpu update is interrupted in the middle + * and the same counter is updated in the interrupt context. Therefore, + * the generated percpu sum may not be precise. The error, if any, should + * be small and insignificant. + * + * For those architectures that do multi-instruction percpu operation, + * preemption in the middle and moving the task to another cpu may cause + * a larger error in the count. Again, this will be few and far between. + * Given the imprecise nature of the count and the possibility of resetting + * the count and doing the measurement again, this is not really a big + * problem. + * + * To get a better picture of what is happening under the hood, it is + * suggested that a few measurements should be taken with the counts + * reset in between to stamp out outliner because of these possible + * error conditions. + * + * To minimize overhead, we use __this_cpu_*() in all cases except when + * CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT is defined.
