Hi, on an embedded PC (500MHz AMD Geode), we recently tried to upgrade the kernel. The original version was 2.6.27, the new ones were 3.3.x and 3.7.x. With the same userspace (a GTK based GUI constantly querying daemons handling different pieces of hardware over serial ports), we noticed that loadavg is different while the idle time (95-97%) is the same. On 2.6.27, the load was around 0.05-0.3 while on 3.3.x and 3.7.x, it quickly crawled up to around 5. Has the load calculation changed so dramatically after 2.6.27?
