Which is sad, because the code it generates is truly horrendous, with the statistics update being sandwitched between get_cpu/put_cpu which in turn causes preemption disables etc. We're talking ten+ instructions just to increment a per-cpu variable in some pretty hot code. Fix the craziness by just using 'this_cpu_inc()' instead. Suddenly we only need a single 'inc' instruction to increment the statistics. This is quite noticeable in the incredibly hot avc_has_perm_noaudit() function (which triggers all the statistics by virtue of doing an avc_lookup() call).
