Re: [Xen-devel] Calculating real cpu usage of Xen domains correctly!

I would expect it to return the cumulative total CPU time in ns that the

I think what's happening is that cpu_time is being updated even if the
domain is blocked. Looking in xen/common/schedule.c:__enter_scheduler(),
the update to cpu_time is still being updated even if SCHED_OP(do_block,
prev) is invoked. Honestly, I don't understand this code that well but I
made the following change:
--- schedule.c~ 2005-02-21 22:19:31.000000000 -0600
+++ schedule.c 2005-02-23 19:44:52.000000000 -0600

next_slice = ops.do_schedule(now);
And cpu_time contained what it should contain. Before, if I ran a simple
infinite loop in a domU (while true; do true; done), it would report
dom0 and domU both using 99% of the CPU.
Now it shows domU using 99% of the CPU and dom0 using 1%. This is
probably the wrong way to fix this problem but hopefully it makes the
right solution obvious to someone who knows this code better.

If it doesn't I'd regard it as a bug.
Seperately, we should make sure we store a total cumulative time that
each CPU has been executing domains (other than idle).
