Subject: [RESEND PATCH v2] tracing: Improve performance by using do_div()
Date: Fri, 29 Mar 2024 17:02:30 +0100

Partially revert commit d6cb38e10810 ("tracing: Use div64_u64() instead
of do_div()") and use do_div() again to utilize its faster 64-by-32
division compared to the 64-by-64 division done by div64_u64().

Explicitly cast the divisor bm_cnt to u32 to prevent a Coccinelle
warning reported by do_div.cocci. The warning was removed with commit
d6cb38e10810 ("tracing: Use div64_u64() instead of do_div()").

Using the faster 64-by-32 division and casting bm_cnt to u32 is safe
because we return early from trace_do_benchmark() if bm_cnt > UINT_MAX.
This approach is already used twice in trace_do_benchmark() when
calculating the standard deviation:

	do_div(stddev, (u32)bm_cnt);
	do_div(stddev, (u32)bm_cnt - 1);
