Folks:

I sent the indented text to gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,
inappropriately as I suspected. I got a polite automated response
suggesting alternate destinations for my email. To my non-technical
eyes, your addresses seemed most appropriate.

     "Mr. Kroah-Hartman,

     "Excuse me for bothering you, but I do not know where to report
my problem and I found your name in
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.9.8-saucy/BUILD.LOG.
My name is there because it's the first commit, for some strange reason
the Ubuntu build logs this, but I have nothing to do with their kernel
builds.

     "I am running Linux Mint KDE v15, but I like to run the latest
kernel. I have never had a problem before installing the latest
"general release" kernel from
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ until yesterday.

     "After I installed v3.9.8-saucy, the system could no longer
"read" cpu usage of my quad-core Intel  q6600. Conky, "top", "mpstat
-P ALL" all show ZERO CPU usage. Everything else is fine; it is just
the reporting that is busted.

     "If you are the wrong person and cannot forward to correct
destination, then I am sorry for wasting your time."

I neglected to write that when I rebooted the identical system using
v3.9.7-saucy as the kernel, the CPU usage for each core was
registering non-zero values when appropriate as usual.
As this is a Ubuntu-specific kernel, I suggest filing a bug in the
Ubuntu bug tracking tool to help resolve this, ther's not much we in the
community can do about this, sorry.

best of luck,

greg k-h
