seq_printf is costy, on a system with n CPUs, reading /proc/softirqs would yield 10*n decimal values, and the extra cost parsing format string grows linearly with number of cpus. Replace seq_printf with seq_put_decimal_ull_width have significant performance improvement. On an 8CPUs system, reading /proc/softirqs show ~40% performance gain with this patch.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
