[PATCH 1/4] as recent CPUs introduce a third running state, after "user" and "system", we need a new field, "guest", in cpustat to store the time used by the CPU to run virtual CPU. Modify /proc/stat to display this new field.
I think it would be good to always print out that number, even if it is zero without the CONFIG option set. Changing the format of /proc/stat depending on config options is probably worse than changing it when moving kernel versions. I guess reusing the "steal" field is not a good idea, since your new "guest time" has different semantics than the steal time field. -- Politics is the struggle between those who want to make their country the best in the world, and those who believe it already is.
