[PATCH] tools/xentop: fix cpu% sort order
Posted by Leigh Brown 6 months, 2 weeks ago
Although using integer comparison to compare doubles kind of
works, it's annoying to see domains slightly out of order when
sorting by cpu%.

Add a compare_dbl() function and update compare_cpu_pct() to
call it.

Oh, we were doing an implicit double->unsigned long long conversion. 
Over the range 0.0 to 100.0, that ought to work as expected.  What kind
of out-of-order are you seeing?

Nevertheless, this should comparison should clearly be done using
doubles.  AFACT, get_cpu_pct() shouldn't ever return a NaN, so I think
this simple form is fine.

Oleksii: This is another bugfix to xentop, and should be considered for
4.19 at this point.

Perhaps I overthought it, and this approach might be better:
