Hi, I am trying to get the steal time with 2 VMs (each with 1 Vcpu) pinned to same core. I run the same application on these 2 VMs simultaneously and see the performance difference. I am trying to read the steal time from inside the guest using top, vmstat etc. Both, top and vmstat -s report the steal time (st) as 0. I also checked that procps is in latest version. I am using virtio-net. I suspect that the steal time is not being updated well. Is there something which I need to configure for this to work? My Linux version for guest image is: Linux server-147 2.6.35-24-virtual #42-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 2 05:15:26 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux Another question I had was that is there a way to programmatically get the value of steal cycles (e.g. from a C program) ?
