[PATCH v3 1/2] pcpcntr: add group allocation/free

From: Mateusz Guzik
Date: Wed Aug 23 2023 - 01:06:21 EST


Allocations and frees are globally serialized on the pcpu lock (and the
CPU hotplug lock if enabled, which is the case on Debian).

At least one frequent consumer allocates 4 back-to-back counters (and
frees them in the same manner), exacerbating the problem.

While this does not fully remedy scalability issues, it is a step
towards that goal and provides immediate relief.
