multiple runs are quite consistent in those numbers. I am running with
$ awk --version
GNU Awk 4.1.3, API: 1.1 (GNU MPFR 3.1.4, GNU MP 6.1.0)
like a problem we are not able to address. And I would even argue that
we want to address it in a generic way as much as possible.
Sure. What solution do you think as generic way?
either optimize seq_printf or replace it with something faster.
If it's real culprit, I agree. However, I tested your test program on
my 2 x86 machines and my friend's machine.
Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch
They have awk 4.0.1 and 4.1.3.
Result are same. Userspace speand more times I mentioned.
[root@blaptop smap_test]# time awk '/^Rss/{rss+=$2} /^Pss/{pss+=$2} END {printf "rss:%d pss:%d\n", rss, pss}' /proc/3552/smaps

I will attach my test progrma source.
I hope you guys test and repost the result because it's the key for direction
of patchset.
Thanks.
