Subject: [PATCH] cpu idle ticks show twice in xen pvm guest
Date: Wed, 5 Oct 2011 22:11:58 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <ce19ea02-45e6-465a-a4c8-b5d74bf8c2ad@default> (raw)

Run below test on xen pvm.
# x=$(cat /proc/stat | grep cpu0 | awk '{print $5}') && sleep 60  \
&& y=$(cat /proc/stat | grep cpu0 | awk '{print $5}') \
&& echo -e  "X:$x\nY:$y\nIDLE:" $(echo "scale=3; ($y-$x)/6000*100" | bc)

@ X:58562301
@ Y:58574282
@ IDLE: 199.600

Normal idle percent should be around 100%.
xen_timer_interrupt called account_idle_ticks to account hypervisor stolen idle ticks 
but these ticks will be accounted again when idle ticks restarted.
