Hi,
Sorry for the late follow up on this.

I just wrote a small program which creates a thread. The thread just hogs
cpu and does nothing else.
***********************************************
#include <pthread.h>
#include <stdio.h>
void *foo(void *p)
{
printf ("Thread ");
fflush(stdout);
while (1);
}
int main(void){
int ret;
pthread_t p1 ;
ret = pthread_create(&p1, NULL, foo, NULL);
pthread_join(p1,NULL);
}
***********************************************
I checked the above program on a machine with 2.6.9-5.EL running.
I checked the top output, it says, global cpu util is 99.% but the cpu
utilization of a.out is 0.0!!
None of the processes that top showed has had more than 0.2% of CPU
utilization, but still global cpu utilization is 99.9%.
Interestingly, /proc/pid related to a.out process had two entries under
/proc/pid/task directory
1) Entry related to a.out
2) Entry related to thread created by a.out
But the statistics under /proc/pid/stat related to a.out process do not
reflect the resource utilization of the thread it has created.
Could you please look into this issue?
With Best Regards,
Amanulla

I understood your question.
However 2.4.21 kernels from kernel.org do not have such hidden
directories.

yes afaik it's cumulative over the threads there.
