The st field shows up, e.g. under debian running on my thinkpad. Only
the field is zero for almost all architectures. With todays git tree
s390, powerpc and the i386 paravirtual timer support steal time

Steal % in top - s390x only?

2007-04-06 Thread Michael MacIsaac
Hello list,

The third line of information from top now has a steal percentage.  For
example, in RHEL4 the third line was:
  Cpu(s):  0.0% us,  0.0% sy,  0.0% ni, 100.0% id,  0.0% wa,  0.0% hi,
0.0% si

Now in RHEL5, I see a new field, st:
  Cpu(s):  0.1%us,  0.5%sy,  0.8%ni, 96.8%id,  0.2%wa,  0.0%hi,  0.0%si,
1.5%st

As I understand it, this value is the steal percentage, or how much CPU
z/VM is stealing.

My question is, does this also work on other architectures? I don't have
an Intel box with RHEL5 - does that new value show up?  And, if you are
running VMware or other hipervisor technology, will it also show non-zero
(i.e. does it also work?)

Thanks.
