timer stats: speedups
Make timer-stats have almost zero overhead when enabled in the config but not used. (this way distros can enable it more easily) Also update the documentation about overhead of timer_stats - it was written for the first version which had a global lock and a linear list walk based lookup ;-) Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
