 |
|
I suspect the idle time in /proc/uptime to be wrong.
At first it is greater than 2*uptime (on a dual core system)
| Code: | $ cat /proc/uptime
13743.06 [35517.30] |
And second it is far from being USER_HZ times the second entry in the /proc/uptime pseudo-file. As man proc tells.
| Code: | $ cat /proc/stat
cpu 129971 3649 17017 [2499837] 47800 3 208 0 0 0 |
(USER_HZ=1/100th of a second for my arch)
Anyone to confirm ? Under which kernel ? dynticks dis/en-abled ?

HZ=300, no dynticks.

I have just compiled linux-3.10.2+100-3rc1-patches with BFS enabled. I don't yet know what these numbers are. I have booted ca 2 minutes ago. |

Thank you for helping ulenrich.
I put brackets around the figures I am interested in.
As a matter of fact, if, what I imagine, you waited less than 70/2=35 seconds after cat /proc/uptime before issuing cat /proc/stat, then... we indeed get a problem.

My linux-3.10.3rc-bfs just crashed. I rebooted some minutes ago:
| Code: | uname -r; cat /proc/uptime ; cat /proc/stat |head -n 1
3.9.11-1001.bd3r
1840.47 3135.84
cpu 20989 68 1679 313584 25977 0 533 0 0 0

This also is an bfs kernel, I remember special code letters in my version string:
b-Bfs, d-DeadlineInOut, 3-is300Hz, r-I forgot about what .config variation I tried some time ago ...

This also is an bfs kernel |
That seems much more coherent.
