SubjectRE: Regression in reading /proc/stat in the newer kernels with large SMP and NUMA configurations
Hi Eric,
I am preparing for that test. Need to stage a full RHEL6. I had only updated the kernel on an existing SLES10.
Standby and I will run the tests for you.

Thanks
Laurence

OK, but you already provided a global number.

We would like to check where in kernel cpu time is consumed.
Maybe something really obvious could pop out.

"perf" is provided in kernel sources, and really is a piece of cake.

cd tools/perf ; make



2x4x2 means : Two sockets, 4 cores per physical package, 2 threads per
core.
