Linux Scheduler Statistics

[Vipin]

Hi All,

Posting it from my parallel question at LQ
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-kernel-70/proc-schedstats-statistics-890997/


I am trying to understand the statistics posted by /proc/schedstat.
The documentation I could find on the subject was taken from here:

Linux Scheduler Statistics
http://eaglet.rain.com/rick/linux/sc...format-15.html

I am running a FC14
2.6.35.6-45.fc14.x86_64

Below is a dump for my statistics

Removed the rest of the cpu/domains

Can somebody please explain me that why my cpu fields (2-4) are not zero 
as suggested in the document ?


Am I doing something wrong ? or are the results different for x86 & 
x86_64 boxes?
Thanks.

(P.S. I am running an i5 with 4 cores)

Linux Boot process - somebody asked for it as I checked the archives
