Hello.I have two minor patches for powertop and a question many-interupts Widen the field to allow for up to 999.99 interupts/second without offsetting the : column. (Me, i get 100+ interups as soon as I touch the mouse) modprobe-module-loading Acknowledge that not ony insmod but also modprobe might load modules
thanks; I've added these both to SVN
On to the question - why does powertop try to hide the interupts that are generated by powertop itself and by anything named tick_nohz_*?
1) by itself: this would distort the measurement display; powertop will always show up as 1 because it has to end the measurement after X seconds
2) tick_nohz_*: those are "kernel admin" ones; every timer tick will get those *in addition* to the actual waker. So if I would display them it would be double counting, as well as confusing for the user due to the double counting effect.
