You're joking right? This patch is both broken and utterly insane.

You're wanting to update an effectively global variable for every
schedule action (and its broken because it is without any serialization
or atomics).

Thanks for the reply and sorry for the thoughtless, I'll rewrite
the code to make it per-cpu variable, then assemble the results
on show.
