I agree with the argument of correlation.
So, if the reduction of values with a known lack of entropy is of
interest, why not change the jiffies variable type too? There we know
that only the lower 32 bits are really relevant. Therefore, wouldn't be
a structure of
struct {
unsigned jiffies;
unsigned cycles;
unsigned num;
} sample;
be more appropriate?
Probably. It doesn't make much difference, however.
