Using `format!("{}", int)` invokes expensive formatting machinery. In `no_std`, using `int.to_string()` directly leverages the specialized `itoa` crate to format the integer into a string natively, reducing allocation overhead during the string creation process.
This optimization targets `arceos/modules/axfs/src/fs/procfs.rs`, replacing the instances where integers are formatted into strings with a direct `.to_string()` call.

Code Review
This pull request replaces the use of format! with .to_string() for integer formatting in procfs.rs to avoid allocation overhead in a no_std environment, and documents this learning in .jules/bolt.md. The review feedback suggests grouping the new ToString import within the existing alloc import block to keep imports clean, and correcting a factual inaccuracy in the documentation regarding how ToString is implemented for integers under the hood.

Instead of adding a separate import line for ToString, we can group it within the existing alloc import block under string:: to keep the imports clean and organized.

The alloc crate's ToString implementation for integers does not actually use the third-party itoa crate under the hood. It uses the standard library's highly optimized internal formatting. Consider updating this description to be factually accurate, for example:

Pull request overview
This PR refactors integer-to-String conversions in the procfs implementation to use .to_string() instead of format!-based formatting, aiming to reduce formatting overhead in procfs directory/file rendering.
Changes:
- Switched several integer formatting sites (PIDs/FDs) from
format!(...)formatting to.to_string(). - Added the
alloc::string::ToStringimport to support.to_string()in this#![no_std]+alloccontext. - Added a Jules “Bolt” learning note documenting the intended guidance for integer string formatting.

💡 What: Replaced usages of
format!("{}", x)withx.to_string()inarceos/modules/axfs/src/fs/procfs.rswhen formatting integers.🎯 Why:
format!invokes core format machinery that can introduce intermediate allocation overhead and extra instructions in hot paths compared to usingto_string(), which leverages optimized formatting (likeitoa) specifically for integers.📊 Impact: Minor measurable reduction in memory overhead and allocation time during filesystem processing inside
#![no_std]codebase.🔬 Measurement: Verify compilation is successful, and ensure no functional regression in procfs logic.
