source/tools/power/x86/turbostat/turbostat.c
int for_all_proc_cpus(int (func)(int))
{
retval = fscanf(fp, "cpu %*d %*d %*d %*d %*d %*d %*d %*d %*d %*d\n");

This fails due to an extra debug entry in /proc/stat
(total of 11 columns). I was measuring time in a hot
function and decided to add this time in an extra
cpu_usage_stat. This was an experiment though.
