On -current amd64 (GENERIC and GENERIC.MP), per-process CPU time accounting seems wrong to me, judging from watching top(1) and ps(1) while compiling stuff.
The system is under load, building an OpenBSD release, but top(1) and ps(1) look like there's not much going on: Most of the time, top(1) (with idle processes hidden) shows the load and CPU usage, but no processes that are actually consuming the CPU time: | load averages: 2.97, 2.06, 1.66 flap.localdomain 23:47:04 | 38 processes: 36 idle, 2 on processor | CPU0 states: 50.7% user, 0.0% nice, 15.4% system, 0.2% interrupt, 33.7% idle | CPU1 states: 34.1% user, 0.0% nice, 9.4% system, 0.0% interrupt, 56.5% idle | Memory: Real: 36M/1127M act/tot Free: 2088M Cache: 643M Swap: 0K/2224M | | PID USERNAME PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE WAIT TIME CPU COMMAND Occasionally the pertinent programs do show up, but with *very* little apparent CPU usage: | load averages: 2.87, 2.00, 1.63 flap.localdomain 23:47:19 | 38 processes: 36 idle, 2 on processor | CPU0 states: 60.0% user, 0.0% nice, 0.0% system, 0.0% interrupt, 40.0% idle | CPU1 states: 42.3% user, 0.0% nice, 0.0% system, 0.0% interrupt, 57.7% idle | Memory: Real: 49M/1139M act/tot Free: 2077M Cache: 643M Swap: 0K/2224M | | PID USERNAME PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE WAIT TIME CPU COMMAND | 11425 root 64 0 19M 20M onproc - 0:00 0.29% cc1 | 14278 root -6 0 4380K 5172K sleep piperd 0:00 0.10% as | 7894 root 18 0 2268K 4388K sleep pause 0:01 0.05% make | 19935 root 10 0 528K 1492K sleep wait 0:00 0.05% cc ps aux seems to get it wrong, too: | # ps aux | USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TT STAT STARTED TIME COMMAND | [...] | root 19561 0.0 0.0 836 904 p0 Is 11:03PM 0:00.18 -ksh (ksh) | root 11801 0.0 0.1 764 1700 p0 I+ 11:40PM 0:00.01 make release | root 7894 0.1 0.1 2296 4444 p0 S+ 11:44PM 0:00.65 make | root 22634 0.0 0.0 628 696 p0 S+ 11:47PM 0:00.00 /bin/sh -ec cc [...] | root 2566 0.8 0.5 18672 18556 p0 R+ 11:47PM 0:00.37 /usr/lib/gcc-lib/amd64-unknown-openbsd5.8/4.2.1/cc1 [...] | root 30930 0.0 0.0 524 1484 p0 S+ 11:47PM 0:00.00 cc [...] | root 16823 0.0 0.2 4384 5176 p0 S+ 11:47PM 0:00.01 as -Qy -o trees.o - | [...] ps axl does show at least some `short term' usage: | # ps axl | UID PID PPID CPU PRI NI VSZ RSS WCHAN STAT TT TIME COMMAND | [...] | 0 19561 14740 0 18 0 836 904 pause Is p0 0:00.18 -ksh (ksh) | 0 11801 19561 27 18 0 764 1700 pause I+ p0 0:00.01 make release | 0 7894 11801 36 18 0 2340 4520 pause S+ p0 0:00.89 make | 0 621 21260 36 10 0 528 1476 wait S+ p0 0:00.00 cc [...] | 0 21260 7894 36 18 0 624 688 pause S+ p0 0:00.00 /bin/sh -ec cc [...] | 0 9291 621 36 64 0 11944 12180 - R+ p0 0:00.07 /usr/lib/gcc-lib/amd64-unknown-openbsd5.8/4.2.1/cc1 [...] | 0 5156 621 36 -6 0 4388 5140 piperd S+ p0 0:00.01 as -Qy -o uhci_pci.o - | [...] Any idea as for what's happening here?
