* Have we changed /proc/stat idle statistics by NOHZ kernel? @ 2011-07-25 14:33 Michal Hocko 2011-08-01 19:59 ` Andrew Morton 0 siblings, 1 reply; 9+ messages in thread From: Michal Hocko @ 2011-07-25 14:33 UTC (permalink / raw) To: linux-kernel; +Cc: Thomas Gleixner, Andrew Morton, Alexey Dobriyan Hi, we have a customer reporting that /proc/stat doesn't provide correct results about idle time if the machine is idle. The issue is caused by the fact that tickles kernel doesn't update kstat_cpu(i).cpustat.idle while it is tickles. Tools that parse this file interpret the unchanged value as 0% idle since the last time. While I personally do not think that measuring the idle machine is that important one could say that the semantic of the file has changed with NOHZ which is not good as we are trying to keep this interface stable. One way to fix this is to consider the current status of idle in show_stat. The very primitive attempt of that can be seen bellow (on top of the current Linus tree). I know it has several issue it just illustrates what I am trying to say. It will not work if jiffies overflow while the CPU was tickles and it also misses locking and handling !NOHZ configuration. I have also noticed we have get_cpu_idle_time_us which should do something similar. Should it be used instead or it is more intrusive? Btw. is this considered to be a problem at all?

I was thinking about that as well. Something like now - (cpustat.user + cpustat.system + cpustat.iowait) but this has the similar problem because iowait is accounted the same way as idle. Or did you mean some other counters? I am currently looking into using get_cpu_idle_time_us which should be more convenient but I do not like that it calls update_ts_time_stats unconditionally (because then we will race with governors which use that function as well). I will try to rip the core out of the function and reuse it here. -- Michal Hocko SUSE Labs SUSE LINUX s.r.o.
