top -S shows the following on my machine:
CPU states: 0.8% user, 0.0% nice, 80.3% system, 12.9% interrupt, 6.1% idle
PID USERNAME PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME WCPU CPU COMMAND
11 root -16 0 0K 12K RUN 563:23 32.23% 32.23% idle
7 root -84 0 0K 12K actask 1:33 18.51% 18.51% acpi_task2
5 root -84 0 0K 12K actask 1:33 18.21% 18.21% acpi_task0
6 root -84 0 0K 12K actask 1:33 17.82% 17.82% acpi_task1
21 root -68 -187 0K 12K WAIT 0:55 4.98% 4.98% irq9: fxp0 atapci0*
17 root -24 -143 0K 12K WAIT 0:06 0.83% 0.83% swi6: acpitaskq
The machine is supposedly idle..no process, disk or network activity,
so I can't see any reason for all this kernel CPU activity. What is
going on? Is this some kind of software-emulated CPU step-down
because ACPI has decided my CPU is too fast? :)
