Andrei Vagin d1be35cb6f proc: add seq_put_decimal_ull_width to speed up /proc/pid/smaps
seq_put_decimal_ull_w(m, str, val, width) prints a decimal number with a
specified minimal field width.

It is equivalent of seq_printf(m, "%s%*d", str, width, val), but it
works much faster.

== test_smaps.py
  num = 0
  with open("/proc/1/smaps") as f:
          for x in xrange(10000):
                  data = f.read()
                  f.seek(0, 0)

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
