Slowest part of heuristic for now is kernel heap sort()
It's can take up to 55% of runtime on sorting bucket items.
As sorting will always call on most data sets to get correctly
byte_core_set_size, the only way to speed up heuristic, is to
speed up sort on bucket.
Add a general radix_sort function.
Radix sort require 2 buffers, one full size of input array
and one for store counters (jump addresses).
That increase usage per heuristic workspace +1KiB
8KiB + 1KiB -> 8KiB + 2KiB
That is LSD Radix, i use 4 bit as a base for calculating,
to make counters array acceptable small (16 elements * 8 byte).
That Radix sort implementation have several points to adjust,
I added him to make radix sort general usable in kernel,
like heap sort, if needed.
Performance tested in userspace copy of heuristic code,
throughput:
- average <-> random data: ~3500 MiB/s - heap sort
- average <-> random data: ~6000 MiB/s - radix sort

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
