Hi, I have created a simple patch that creates a "/proc/jiffies" entry for the 2.6.x kernel. It can be downloaded off: http://puggy.symonds.net/~hareesh/ibm/proc-entry-for-jiffies-2.6.3.patch I have stated my problem below. I must say that it is driving me quite mad! Value printed by uptime ----------------------- $uptime 19:15:08 up 27 min, 1 user, load average: 0.10, 0.10, 0.11 Value printed by the jiffies field of the 'current' task -------------------------------------------------------- $awk '{print $22}' /proc/self/stat 183579 Which means: 183579/100 seconds = 1835 seconds 1835/60 minutes = 30 minutes [In userspace HZ = 100; In kernel HZ = 1000 ] Conclusion ---------- Everything seems perfect. Value printed by /proc/jiffies (through my patch) ------------------------------------------------- $cat /proc/jiffies jiffies = 1643009 Which means: 1643009/1000 seconds = 1643 seconds 1643/60 minutes = 27 minutes What is wrong?? Can anyone please check my patch and tell me if anything is wrong. Moreover, in the first 3 minutes, cat /proc/jiffies prints junk. Any inputs will be appreciated.
