random: optimize add_interrupt_randomness
commit
e8e8a2e47db6bb85bb0cb21e77b5c6aaedf864b4 upstream.
add_interrupt_randomess always wakes up
code blocking on /dev/random. This wake up is done
unconditionally. Unfortunately this means all interrupts
take the wait queue spinlock, which can be rather expensive
on large systems processing lots of interrupts.
We saw 1% cpu time spinning on this on a large macro workload
running on a large system.
I believe it's a recent regression (?)
Always check if there is a waiter on the wait queue
before waking up. This check can be done without
taking a spinlock.
