i understand about idle process

but why is pmcstat -TS inst_retired.any_p -w1
showing

PMC: [inst_retired.any_p] Samples: 220 (100.0%) , 36 unresolved

%SAMP IMAGE      FUNCTION                       CALLERS

------>>>>>>> 67.4 kernel     acpi_cpu_idle_mwait            acpi_cpu_idle

could you please run pmcstat on your server and see the output ? is where
also a high % the kernel using ?
