Subject: [REGRESSION] [Linux 3.2] top/htop and all other CPU usage metering applications has gone crackers
Date: Thu, 24 Nov 2011 10:30:15 +0000 (GMT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1718181782.740375.1322130615898.JavaMail.mail@webmail19> (raw)
Hello,
I'd like to report a weird regression in Linux 3.2 (running rc3 now) - all CPU metering applications have gone terribly mad
under this kernel:
Here are two text snapshots of htop:
1 [||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||100.0%] Tasks: 135 total, 1 running
2 [||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||100.0%] Load average: 0.00 0.01 0.05

Interestingly with this madness going on, the internal kernel average load counter works properly:
[root@localhost ~]# uptime
16:20:38 up 44 min, 2 users, load average: 0.02, 0.04, 0.05
Right at this moment all process viewers report 400% CPU load (I have 4 CPU cores), either 400% loaded by user processes
or 200% by system and 200% by user processes.
Graphically it looks this way: http://img717.imageshack.us/img717/6495/top2b.png
I'm not running any CPU intensive applications at the moment at all.
My .config file can be downloaded here: http://ompldr.org/iYmZneg
My distro is Fedora 14 i686.
Best wishes,
Artem
