commit 3f3295709edea6268ff1609855f498035286af73 upstream.
The current int_sqrt() computation is sub-optimal for the case of small
@x. Which is the interesting case when we're going to do cumulative
distribution functions on idle times, which we assume to be a random
variable, where the target residency of the deepest idle state gives an
upper bound on the variable (5e6ns on recent Intel chips).
In the case of small @x, the compute loop:
while (m != 0) {
b = y + m;
y >>= 1;
if (x >= b) {
x -= b;
y += m;
}
m >>= 2;
}
can be reduced to:
while (m > x)
m >>= 2;
Because y==0, b==m and until x>=m y will remain 0.
And while this is computationally equivalent, it runs much faster
because there's less code, in particular less branches.

Averages computed over all values <128k using a LFSR to generate order.
Cold numbers have a LFSR based branch trace buffer 'confuser' ran between
each int_sqrt() invocation.
