Subject: Provide individual CPU usage measurement based on idle time
From: Carsten Emde <C.Emde@osadl.org>
Date: Sun, 22 Apr 2012 15:19:46 +0100
The various methods to determine CPU usage and load have a number of
disadvantages (see also Documentation/cpu-load.txt), and a
straight-forward method to gain usage information about a particular CPU
is lacking. However, in the context of setting CPU affinity and
isolation, it is often required to monitor the effective usage ratio of
a CPU.
This patch adds an additional CPU usage measuring method that is based
on idle time processing. The data are available for every CPU in
/proc/idleruntime/cpuN/data in the format "<idletime> <runtime>". The
counters can be reset by writing to /proc/idleruntime/resetall for all
CPUs and to /proc/idleruntime/cpuN/reset for a particular CPU,
respectively.
To calculate the CPU usage since the most recent reset, divide the
runtime by the sum of runtime plus idletime, e.g.
# for i in `ls -1d /proc/idleruntime/cpu* | sort -nk1.18`
> do
> echo "$i: `awk '{ print (100.0*$2) / ($1+$2)"%" }' <$i/data`"
> echo 1 >$i/reset
> done
/proc/idleruntime/cpu0: 72.0048%
/proc/idleruntime/cpu1: 5.49522%
/proc/idleruntime/cpu2: 0.27916%
/proc/idleruntime/cpu3: 32.3493%
