No, I believe that I did not, unless you can provide example of the contrary.
linprocfs, but it lies anyway.  I've engaged in hacks like this in 4.x,
That's what I mean - I can't imagine how can you get any useful statistics out of CPU times by combining it with number of processors.

but I think they are just that: hacks. I think a real fix is to support turning off CPUs in the MI code and allow userland to query via a
non-hackish
interface how many CPUs are actually enabled and get appropriate load
stats,
etc. based on that.
Yes, that's would be nice. But in the meantime my goal is to resolve obvious regression we have in the 6.x release in the presence of the HTT CPU.

It's not a regression I think as 4.x and 5.x both do the same as before this commit (IIRC), but that's ok.

Yes, this problem was introduced by the fix to the famous "HTT vulnerability".
