Replace the lkml.org links with lore to better use a single source
that's more likely to stay available long-term.
Done by bash script:
cvt_lkml_to_lore ()
{
tmpfile=$(mktemp ./.cvt_links.XXXXXXX)
header=$(echo $1 | sed 's@/lkml/@/lkml/headers/@')
wget -qO - $header > $tmpfile
if [[ $? == 0 ]] ; then
link=$(grep -i '^Message-Id:' $tmpfile | head -1 | \
sed -r -e 's/^\s*Message-Id:\s*<\s*//' -e 's/\s*>\s*$//' -e 's@^@https://lore.kernel.org/r/@')
# echo "testlink: $link"
if [ -n "$link" ] ; then
wget -qO - $link > /dev/null
if [[ $? == 0 ]] ; then
echo $link
fi
fi
fi
rm -f $tmpfile
}
git grep -P -o "\bhttps?://(?:www.)?lkml.org/lkml[\/\w]+" $@ |
while read line ; do
echo $line
file=$(echo $line | cut -f1 -d':')
link=$(echo $line | cut -f2- -d':')
newlink=$(cvt_lkml_to_lore $link)
if [[ -n "$newlink" ]] ; then
sed -i -e "s#\b$link\b#$newlink#" $file
fi
done

Linux exports various bits of information via ``/proc/stat`` and
|
|
``/proc/uptime`` that userland tools, such as top(1), use to calculate
|
|
the average time system spent in a particular state, for example::
|
|
|
|
$ iostat
|
|
Linux 2.6.18.3-exp (linmac) 02/20/2007
|
|
|
|
avg-cpu: %user %nice %system %iowait %steal %idle
|
|
10.01 0.00 2.92 5.44 0.00 81.63
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
Here the system thinks that over the default sampling period the
|
|
system spent 10.01% of the time doing work in user space, 2.92% in the
|
|
kernel, and was overall 81.63% of the time idle.
|
|
|
|
In most cases the ``/proc/stat`` information reflects the reality quite
|
|
closely, however due to the nature of how/when the kernel collects
|
|
this data sometimes it can not be trusted at all.
|
|
|
|
So how is this information collected? Whenever timer interrupt is
|
|
signalled the kernel looks what kind of task was running at this
|
|
moment and increments the counter that corresponds to this tasks
|
|
kind/state. The problem with this is that the system could have
|
|
switched between various states multiple times between two timer
|
|
interrupts yet the counter is incremented only for the last state.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Example
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
If we imagine the system with one task that periodically burns cycles
|
|
in the following manner::
|
|
|
|
time line between two timer interrupts
|
|
|--------------------------------------|
|
|
^ ^
|
|
|_ something begins working |
|
|
|_ something goes to sleep
|
|
(only to be awaken quite soon)
|
|
|
|
In the above situation the system will be 0% loaded according to the
|
|
``/proc/stat`` (since the timer interrupt will always happen when the
|
|
system is executing the idle handler), but in reality the load is
|
|
closer to 99%.
|
|
|
|
One can imagine many more situations where this behavior of the kernel
|
|
will lead to quite erratic information inside ``/proc/stat``::
