On CPU hotplug the steal time accounting can keep a stale rq->prev_steal_time value over CPU down and up. So after the CPU comes up again the delta calculation in steal_account_process_tick() wreckages itself due to the unsigned math: u64 steal = paravirt_steal_clock(smp_processor_id()); steal -= this_rq()->prev_steal_time; So if steal is smaller than rq->prev_steal_time we end up with an insane large value which then gets added to rq->prev_steal_time, resulting in a permanent wreckage of the accounting. As a consequence the per CPU stats in /proc/stat become stale. Nice trick to tell the world how idle the system is (100%) while the CPU is 100% busy running tasks. Though we prefer realistic numbers. None of the accounting values which use a previous value to account for fractions is reset at CPU hotplug time. update_rq_clock_task() has a sanity check for prev_irq_time and prev_steal_time_rq, but that sanity check solely deals with clock warps and limits the /proc/stat visible wreckage. The prev_time values are still wrong. Solution is simple: Reset rq->prev_*_time when the CPU is plugged in again.
