Public bug reported:
Linux ubuntu 5.0.0-1006-raspi2 #6-Ubuntu SMP Thu Apr 11 18:04:26 UTC
2019 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux
I've seen this on rpi2, as well as rpi3 with both armhf and arm64 using the
disco release candidate.
After booting, the load average stays quite high, typically over 4.0. This
persists, even if I leave it idle for several hours:
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ w
19:44:05 up 2:22, 1 user, load average: 4.16, 4.03, 4.01
/proc/loadavg is consistent with these numbers. But when I check top,
there are no obvious culprits hogging the cpu or anything. Typically
everything looks to be <1% cpu usage, with top being the biggest cpu hog
at about 2%. The system doesn't seem too slow (for a pi), but it's
unusual to see such high numbers.
Nothing seems to be swapping:
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ free -m
