            Bug ID: 257160
           Summary: SCHED_4BSD produces nonsense in top.
           Product: Base System
           Version: CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: dgilbert@eicat.ca

While I'm testing this on riscv64, I strongly suspect that it's not
architecture dependant.  It may, however, depend on having a multi-cpu syst=
em.

Due to the nature of my quad-core risv64 (it's slow) and what I want to do =
with
it(it's fairly busy), I was annoyed that SCHED_ULE was mostly ignoring my n=
ice
levels giving more than 0 time to processes marked as nice -20 vs. processes
not nice.  Anyways, I installed a kernel with SCHED_4BSD.

Keep in mind this is a quad core CPU:

... that is a sample top output --- and the >100% _single thread_ processes
continue to be significantly more than 100% until they die.

Obviously, top is not reporting reality here.
